Bullfighting: Take Action
What You Can Do to End the Cruelty of Bullfighting:
· Contact the Catholic Church and ask them to publicly renounce the practice of bullfighting. The Pope could end this torture tomorrow with a strong statement. See below for contact information.
· Contact companies that sponsor and support bullfighting. Call and write expressing your strong disapproval. See below for a list of companies still supporting bullfights.
· Never attend a bullfight. Educate your family, friends, and coworkers. Encourage them to never attend bullfights. Send them a link to www.BullfightBloodbath.com
· If you see a brochure, website, product, advertisement, or televised program that promotes bullfighting, contact them to register your strong objection.
· If you see a travel book that includes information promoting bullfights, write to the publishing company and the author, asking them to remove this information in future editions of the book.
· Anytime the topic of bullfighting arises in print, e-mail a letter to the editor explaining why bullfighting should be relegated to the past. Include a link to www.BullfightBloodbath.com in your letter.
· If you are a citizen in community where public funds are used to support bullfighting, call and write to your elected officials to let them know this is not acceptable. Encourage your friends and family to do the same.
· Support local organizations in countries where bullfighting still takes place. One such group is the International Movement Against Bullfights.
· Join SHARK's email list to keep up to date on this issue.
The Catholic Church
We urge you to make your views known to the Vatican and the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops as well as your own diocesan Bishop regarding this horrific "entertainment".
The Pope could end this torture tomorrow with a strong statement condemning the torture of these innocent animals.

Corona Beer
A bullring employee places a bloody harpoon tip into a Corona Beer cup. The harpoon was just ripped from the body of a bull who was tortured to death in a bullring in Puebla, Mexico.
Corona literally has the blood of the innocent on it. Hopefully caring people will think of this picture before ordering a Corona, or any product of Anheuser-Busch.
Ironically, Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser Beer and the major shareholder of Corona, also owns the Sea World marine parks, and claims to care about animals and conservation. This picture exposes the truth.
Anheuser-Busch refuses to remove its support for possibly the worst animal torture on the planet, and not surprisingly also sponsors rodeos in the United States and Canada. Read about Corona's disgusting presence at bullfights here.
Tell Corona what you think about them supporting this brutality:
Email them at: globalmarketing@gmodelo.com.mx
Please forward any response you may receive from Corona to us at SHindi@sharkonline.org
