"Il y a un point sur lequel les taurins ont raison sans le savoir. Quand on répète un mensonge un bon millier de fois il se convertit en une vérité. Et ici, en Espagne, pays de contraste il se convertit en une fête nationale. Et là les taurins tenteront de défendre la thèse de l'art et de la culture. Qu'il s'agit d'une activité légale et institutionnalisée. Que c'est une tradition. Ils s'efforceront de lui donner le nom de Dieu en vain et s'entoureront pour cela d'imprésarios et de prêtres. Mais ce à quoi ils n'arriveront jamais et ce malgré tous leurs efforts c'est d'effacer la seule vérité qui se cache derrière son monde obscur et sinistre à savoir qu'il s'agit avant tout de la torture d'un être vivant, invité à être le plat principal d'une fête de laquelle il ne sortira pas vivant. .."

Reçu d'Isabel Marcoux, présidente de la FLAC
Cette reconnaissance insulte les 80 % et plus d'Espagnols qui dans les sondages récents expriment leur dégoût du zoosadisme lâche et sanguinaire de la corrida. 

Aujourd'hui la Ministre de la Culture espagnole Esperanza AGUIRRE (TRES TAURINE) a remis la médaille du mérite au tortionnaire d'animaux José Tomas.

Ce sont ses parents qui l'ont reçue car lui est blessé. Qui peut parler de mérite quand la cruauté et le sadisme sont en cause ?

 

Pour protester CONTRE cette mascarade qui heurte 80 % des Espagnols, malsaine pour la jeunesse  de ce pays et contraire au droit des animaux "êtres sensibles" en Europe, réagissons non  seulement contre cette mascarade ridicule, mais également contre la barbarie du taureau de Coria, des taureaux rentrés dans les arènes en Villanueva (Castille) à coups de tracteur, des veaux d'Algesima, de toutes les autres manifestations et maltraitances animales en Espagne, voici le mail du Président José Luis Zapatero et du Ministère de la Culture qui a comme Ministre une femme fervente des tueries de la "sangria nacional" !

Following the messages that you have sent: MELKA withdraws its name from weekly pro-bullfighting TV programme “Art & Emotion” and states its own opposition to animal cruelty | Please, thank MELKA for making this decision – and ANIMAL thanks YOU for making it happen

 

Just a few days ago, ANIMAL launched another action alert to get yet another company to drop its involvement with bullfighting in Portugal. As it has happened with the six other companies which were sponsoring or were somehow involved with bullfighting in Portugal until ANIMAL stepped in and until you helped ANIMAL to bring pressure over them, your participation was again vital to make MELKA end its corporate association with the weekly pro-bullfighting TV programme “Art & Emotion” in Portugal.

 

In a message sent to ANIMAL, MELKA’s Iberia Country Manager, António Manuel Rebocho, said:

 “Melka did not have or has any intention of associating its name to any cruel event and especially not if it involves cruelty to animals.

 

The people who head our brand are humane and sensitive, as you certainly are.

 

What Melka did was only to provide clothing to the programme presenter without having any intention of getting involved with any cause at all, be it for or against.

 We nevertheless wish to take this opportunity of contacting with you to present our apologies about this matter and about its eventually offensive aspect. We have now given specific instructions to the presenter of the programme to withdraw any identification of the brand from this programme.

Please also let us ask you to be humble enough not to think of yourselves as exclusive holders of these noble causes; on this side, there are also people who share the same animal protection concerns that move you, which is my case.

 

Bless you!

Best regards, Melhores Cumprimentos, Saludos

Nous pouvons adresser un courrier de remerciement à M. Rebocho, directeur Iberia de Melka Trading Ltd. ANIMAL propose ci-dessous un courrier type en anglais.

Suggested Message

 

Dear Mr. António Manuel Rebocho,

Iberia Country Manager of MELKA TRADING, LTD:

 

I firstly wish to thank MELKA for responding so positively to my request and to the concerns of hundreds of people who, like me, find bullfighting a truly abhorrent spectacle.

 

I also wish to congratulate and salute you and MELKA for also opposing animal cruelty, something which only favours the positive corporate image and respectability of MELKA.

 

I will be happy to remember MELKA when shopping and I will make sure I will tell other compassionate people I know to remember MELKA when looking for clothing to buy. I like to reward companies which take a stance against animal cruelty or which, at least, keep distance from it (which I consider the minimum acceptable), but, for that matter, I would also like to take this opportunity to urge you and MELKA to commit not to provide clothing or any other form of support and not to maintain any other kind of commercial / promotional involvement with the barbaric bullfighting activity and industry.

 

Bullfighting is a sadistic activity which causes huge amounts of suffering and death to many thousands of bulls and other animals every year and which is happily coming to an end, especially in Portugal and in the two other European countries which will not authorise this brutality for much longer. I, along with many other people and animal protection organisations, will make sure that we will all see the end of bullfighting soon. I am now glad that MELKA is no longer involved in it and I trust that it will never return to any association with this dark practice.

 

Thanking you for your attention,

 

Yours, sincerely,
