Animal ethics points out that there are many spectacles in the world in which animals are harmed or even lose their lives (such as bullfights). In other cases they are not killed, but are beaten, violated, forced to suffer in other ways Their fundamental right to animal welfare is simply not respected.
From 2023 The first specific legislation on animal rights applies in Spainwhich aims to put an end to such abuses. The law focuses mainly on the abuse of domestic animals, but also takes into account other types of acts, although unfortunately it still allows bullfights and bull runs, hunting with dogs and other abnormalities to which many animals are exposed.
They hit a defenseless ox
From the animal side They condemn last Friday’s animal abuse during the Royal Herald parade in Granada, where in the middle of the parade and in front of the astonished gaze of hundreds of attendees, including many children, a page knelt in the face of one of the oxen taking part in the event. This led to immediate rejection from the public, who confronted the aggressor for his behavior.
To consider It is unacceptable that animals are still used in public showsexposing them to situations of extreme stress, noise, crowds and, as in this case, physical abuse. This incident reflects the consequences of an entertainment model that ignores animal welfare and perpetuates its exploitation.
They have formally requested the Granada City Council to investigate the facts and determine the associated responsibilities. both the data subject and the responsible company of animals. They do not rule out taking legal measures.
Eliminate the use of animals in public shows
Both the Animal Rights Party and numerous Spanish animal protection organizations have been fighting for years eradicate the use of animals in festive events and public shows. For animal activists, the presence of animals at these events, presented as ‘traditions’, is completely ‘unnecessary’.
They claim that animalsThey are not tools at the service of human entertainment“, and that their use in parades, circuses, pilgrimages and other celebrations exposes them to “unnatural” conditions and, on many occasions, “to physical and psychological suffering.”
It’s a real shame That every year they hire incompetent people who ruin the Three Kings parades exploit the animals and, moreover, as happened yesterday in Granada, physically attack them in front of all the children.
From the animal party they call on the municipal council of Granada takes a strong and ethical stand against the use of animals in public events: This is an opportunity to show that animal welfare and respect for children, who witness spectacles full of violence, are unavoidable priorities.
