Bully beef

July 18th, 2006

Here’s a story which shouldn’t be surprising but kind of is.

The League Against Cruel Sports has recently revealed how cities and towns throughout Britain are indirectly supporting bullfighting.

Plymouth, we’re ashamed to note, is one of the guilty areas on the list, along with the likes of Dunfermline, Manchester, Peterborough, Stafford and Stockport.

All of these glamorous places are twinned with communities in Spain, France and Portugal which actively support and subsidise the rather unsavoury ’sport’.    

The league has written to the relevent councils to alert them to this connection, but is also encouraging citizens of the People’s Republic to use their ‘Euro Power!’ and choose holiday destinations that have turned their backs on bullfighting - y’know, like the or something.

You can learn how to use your ‘Euro Power!’ and find a list of the locations still supporting bullfighting on www.bullfightingfree.org.
And, hey - if we work together, one day, the only red rags matadors will be waving will be PRSD t-shirts while helping old peasant ladies across the road.
