We would be grateful if you could print this poster and display it at your local music venues, youth clubs, animal welfare stands, veterinary surgery waiting areas, etc. Thank you.

Coursing is cruel from beginning to end. Thousands of hares are forcefully snatched from the Irish countryside in nets, kept in captivity for weeks and forced to run for their lives in front of muzzled greyhounds. When hit, they suffer agonising life-threatening injuries, including broken bones. Witness the cruelty of coursing at http://bit.ly/geVLk or visit our youtube channel at www.youtube.com/icabs

ACTION ALERT:
Email “Stop licensing cruel hare coursing” to minister@environ.ie with a copy to info@greenparty.ie

ACTION ALERT – SAMPLE LETTER

Oscar Cerezal, Mayor
City Hall
Plaza del Pueblo, 1 -28410
Manzanares el Real
SPAIN

Tel: 00 34 91 853 00 09
Fax: 00 34 91 853 98 25
Email: ayuntamiento@manzanareselreal.info
(With a copy to cartas@manzanareselreal.info)

Dear Mayor Cerezal,

I understand that bullfighting forms a part of your town’s annual fiesta.

As one of the millions of people across Europe and the world opposed to this cruel and barbaric activity, I implore you to exclude bullfighting from the 2009 fiesta and from all future fiestas.

Manzanares el Real has many positive attractions for tourists but, as long as bullfighting is permitted to take place there, myself and my family will be avoiding your town in favour of the locations in Spain that have declared themselves anti-bullfighting.

I hope that Manzanares el Real will show compassion and choose to stop hosting bullfighting.

Thank you. I look forward to your positive response.

Yours sincerely,

[* * * Name / Location * * *]

en Español

Apreciado Alcalde Cerezal,

Entendemos que las corridas de toros forman parte de las fiestas anuales de su localidad. Como uno de los millones de ciudadanos europeos contrarios a esta actividad cruel y bárbara, le ruego que excluyan las corridas de toros de sus fiestas de 2009 y de las futuras.

Manzanares el Real goza de numerosas atracciones positivas para los turistas pero, mientras se permitan allí las corridas de toros, mi familia y yo evitaremos visitar su localidad en favor de aquellas que en España se han declarado contrarias a las corridas de toros.

Espero que Manzanares el Real muestre compasión y escoja poner fin a las corridas de toros.

Gracias.
