Spain. Bullfighting. Savagery. Blood Bath Galore. Animal Cruelty. Lyvon in Protest.

And why shouldn't we look at bullfighting with a critical eye? Because tradition has enshrined it beyond reproach? That's a lame excuse for perpetuating animal cruelty for the blood-thirsty mob. This bullfighting is worse than using animals in circuses. The mob cheers whenever the bull is stabbed, and the torero raises his arms in glory after the bull succumbs to its mortal wounds. Pretty barbaric stuff, really.

Believe it or not, not all Spaniards are hungry for blood. According to Lyvon, a Spanish rock group who wrote a song in protest called El Rock del Torero ( Bullfighter's Rock ), 70% of the Spanish population are no longer interested in bullfights. If and when you go to Spain, don't go to the bullfights. Spain is blessed with innumerable art museums, cathedrals, and libraries. Don't hobnob with the boorish crowd at the arenas.

Below is Lyvon's performance as presented in YouTube:



Here are the lyrics in English:

Hundreds of bulls who are murdered
Their blood spilt by the fans
A slow agony and a bloody death
By insensitive people who kill without conscience
Impassive eyes they watch the massacre
And a gloomy government that pay for this blood
They charge us this "fiesta" Which is called national
No with my taxes to mistreat an animal
"Bullfightkill", the art of killing
Is not a culture, not even "fiesta" to murder
They charge from my incomings the mistreatment to animal
It's enough torture, final abolition
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
A clown guy, dressed in bumpkin clothes
Who claims to be very "macho" and very traditional
To any virgin he offers the ritual
And cheat so many people by ill-treating to an animal
Opium for the people who clap the trick
they shout an "olé!" to the crappy bullfighter
The jackal ends the scene with the sword
And they say that is culture the national "fiesta"
"Bulfightkill" the pleasure of killing
Is unworthy from a rational human being
Assassins and thieves 'cause they steal
The taxes from my working sweat
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
Such an unworthy game, with no ethic and morality
The rest of Europe is looking very badly to us
Bloody bullfighter, fucking cheeky
Put yourself the sword into the ass
It's enough of national "fiesta"
With my taxes I'm not going to subsidize it

Philippines. Reporting Animal Cruelty. Emergency Numbers. RA 8485.

Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 ....

William Baber, Tennessee Vet Gone Bad.

Euthanasia is suppose to be merciful. When William Baber had his way, it was far from it. Baber used the very cruel " heart stick " method minus the sedation. This means that the animals could spend as long as 30 agonizing minutes before death actually occurred. Undercover video showed that William Baber even stepped on the animals to immobilize them for the injection. Do I sound like I am describing an executioner and not a veterinarian? Very sad, isn't it? The video showed dogs’ tails visibly wagging and cats are flailing before they’re given the lethal injection . "It’s just a horrible, horrible way for an animal to die,” said former euthanasia technician June McMahon. Tennessian.com reported that " still conscious, the cats were described by inmates as 'going wild' after being placed in a container, with as many as 10-15 of them being dumped on top of each other in a 'cruel manner,' authorities allege.These animals were allegedly placed ...

Philippines. Committee on Animal Welfare. Tambucho Gassing. Oscar Macenas. Fight for Compassion, Not Cruelty.

Believe it or not, the Committee on Animal Welfare (CAW) is again pushing for the reinstatement of Tambucho Gassing as an accepted form of euthanasia in the Philippines. This comes after CAW dragged its feet from August 2010 to April 2011, stultifying a directive from Secretary Proceso Alcala of the Department of Agriculture to rewrite a previous CAW-endorsed administrative order that embraced Tambucho Gassing like it was a God-sent cure-all for stray or unwanted animals. For those coming into this matter only now, Tambucho Gassing is not carbon monoxide gassing as CAW would like the world to believe. Tambucho Gassing is death by vehicular exhaust fumes. No gas cylinders are used, just a rubber hose connected to a clunky, old, usually badly tuned gas engine. The animals are entombed in a sealed metal container and toxic fumes are pumped into it. In terms of expediency, the process is slow, inefficient, and ineffective against the problem. In terms of humanity, it is depraved, utterly c...
