I received the following email from the Care2 team today. We only have until July 28th to make a difference! Hi Mary Ann, The Catalonian Animal Defense Law of 2008 condemns all cruelty and forbids any spectacle where an animal is ill-treated or killed... with the exception of bullfighting. For bulls in Catalonia, this could all change on July 28th. On Wednesday, the Catalonia parliament will decide whether to ban the practice of bullfighting once and for all. Urge the regional parliament of Catalonia to save hundreds of thousands of bulls from ritualized cruelty » If the ban is approved, Catalonia will become the first region on the mainland of Spain to ban bullfighting, and many people in Spain can't wait for other regions to follow suit. More than 180,000 Spaniards have already signed a petition demanding a complete ban on the outdated tradition. Let the regional parliament of Catalonia know that people around the world are calling for the end of bullfighting » Thank you, Andrew Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team We Only Have Until July 28th To Ban Bullfighting! Take action link: www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFz6k/zk0w/b5wXo

Great news! This is such big news it was reported on CNN yesterday. The region of Catalonia, Spain has passed the bill to ban bullfighting because of the HUGE public outcry! Problem is, this law doesn't come into effect until 2011, but at least it's a start!
Victory!
