Les taurins espagnols et français demandent à l'UNESCO que les corridas
deviennent "patrimoine Culturel"...
Ce sont les présidents des associations d'éleveurs de taureaux, Eduardo
Miura y Joao Santos, qui pressentent ensemble la demande pour que l'UNESCO
déclare la fête taurine Patrimoine Culturel de l'Humanité !!!
Ils ont annoncé cela à Santarem (Portugal)pendant la III Feria National du
Taureau.
Cette proposition s'ajoute à celle présentée au mois de novembre dernier par
l'Association International de Tauromachie dont le siège est à Madrid.
En plus ils ont demandé le soutien de la Ministre de la Culture espagnole,
Carmen Calvo (taurine féroce...) Voici donc un résumé de la situation. La
plupart des antis espagnols pensent qu'il est impossible que l'UNESCO
accepte cette aberration, cependant il faut rester vigilant et même écrire à
l'UNESCO pour dire que c'est INADMISSIBLE.
Ce ne sera pas si facile que pour les biquettes pyrénéennes qui ont été
sauvées grâce à nos messages en force, mais NOUS ARRIVERONS à démolir les
illusions des taurins qui rêvent de faire rentrer la torture dans la
patrimoine de l'Humanité ! De l'INHUMANITE OUI...

Dear Madams and Sirs,
I have learned that Portuguese and Spanish unions of breeders of bulls for
bullfights are planning to ask the UNESCO to accept, recognise and safeguard
bullfights and bullfighting activities as intangible cultural heritage.
While we all recognise that bullfights are still common in some European
countries such as Portugal, Spain and in the South of France and in some
Latin American countries, such as Mexico, the truth is that they are far
from being representative of any of these countries culture. Actually, all
these countries are far richer in their culture than bullfighting advocates
would say. Most of all, bullfights have become highly unpopular spectacles
in Europe and throughout the world, generating organised and on going
protest campaigns by animal protection organisations in Portugal, Spain,
France and in many Latin American countries. Bullfights are such violent
shows – which are based in torturing and spiking bulls repeatedly –, that
even Spanish cities have already been declared anti-bullfighting cities,
which happened more significantly in Barcelona. Large international animal
protection organisations such as the World Society for the Protection of
Animals and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have been
campaigning for the end of bullfights in Spain, while these organisations,
along with other British, Dutch and French organisations have been
supporting the ethical struggle against bullfights in Portugal, as in
France. Latin American animal protection groups have been doing the same in
Mexico and in other Latin American countries, again supported by European
and American animal protection organisations.
I urge the UNESCO to strongly reject any proposal to have bullfights and
affiliate activities recognised as an intanglibe cultural heritage, as I
strongly feel that the world will only be culturally and morally more
developed when acts of abhorrent cruelty to animals such as bullfights
become only a dark part of the past.
Yours sincerely
