I looked at this, wish I hadn’t, feel physically sick. Obviously it’s in Spanish and I don’t understand but do they need funds, where to email to raise objections and disgust? If there is more info about this then I will donate and email.
Hi Kathryn, this is just to inform people of the ‘festivals’ or fiestas’ by month. The group don’t want money, thank you for that – they want people in Spain to know that they can denounce cruelty to animals in Spain in any form.
Thank you for caring.
so is this just for people in spain this email ad or can anyone email and say we are against this this is sick and so cruel
Hi Kathryn. It’s from the Observatorio Justicia y Defensa Animal http://www.justiciaydefensaanimal.es/ whichis a relatively new animal rights organisation, but very active and I think very good, as it was founded by a commitee of professioanls – vets, lawyers, jounalists, etc. You can indeed donate Account ‘La Caixa’: 2100 5769 54 0200053574
IBAN: ES43 2100 5769 5402 0005 3574 or by this new Teaming thing and it certainly does help their work.
The other two excellent Spanish animal-rights organisations are PACMA – Partido Animalista Contra el Maltrato Animal http://www.pacma.es/- an actual political party to defend the rights of animals and nature, very successful and gets masses of votes (and I’m a member.)
There’s Anima Naturalis http://www.animanaturalis.org/ which is also very good and works in Latin America as well as Spain.
There are really two separate ways of helping and one can do both: there’s rescuing and donating for individual animals and there’s participating in and donating to the wider movements, such as Cruelty-Free, the Spanish ones I’ve mentioned, WWF Compassion in World Farming and other organisations that are working to change laws and attitudes. Personally (but it’s only my view) I think we probably achieve more, euro-for-euro,value-for-money, value-for-effort, by joining the large organisations, writing letters, petitioning, voting and, of course, abstaining from doing harm ourselves, than we do by rescuing individual animals, as that doesn’t change the wider happenings (not that it’s ever stopped me from rescuing one-or-two-at-a-time, but that’s an immediate, emotional action, whereas campaigns and letter-writing and so on are more reasoned and, I think,far harder to do.)
If I were goingto donate to or join just one of the above,I’d choose PACMA, because it’s big, doesn’t waste money on paying anyone to do what they should do for free, is well-known and highly successful.
Without being able to read the words, the pictures tell very clearly the horrific story of how backward Spain is in its attitude to animals. They are still in medieval times.
There is seriously something wrong with a country that continues to behave like this, and has not progressed.
One can only applaud those who are trying to change things. I know I shall never give up!
This so called culture makes me sick. I have the feeling that animal cruelty is normal for bloody spain.
They must be deeply ashamed. I never buy product from spain.
