Dear Friends,

The bullfight scheduled for the 25th of April did not take place. According to an article the inauguration was postponed for an undetermined time. The article says that this is due to the fact that the owners want to finish the works completely before the inauguration.

The inauguration will take place but the problem is to know when. They won’t give up and there is a complete black out concerning this issue in the Panamian newspapers. It’s impossible to find any article about this.

Please continue to send protests (emails can be find on our website at “Latest Campaigns”).

On the other hand we have bad news concerning Panama, whilst we fought to prevent this inauguration, another bullring with capacity for 2000 persons, was built and inaugurated in the province of Chiriquí, last 18th of April.

SAMPLE LETTER:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am outraged yet again regarding this senseless massacre in your community!

I have written previously, my words unnoticed, ignored, just as your animals. You campaign to brutalize animals, and I am sickened over your techniques, which include poisoning, shooting, and crushing by vehicle. Animals, like humans, are sentient, capable of fear, love, pain, and suffering; humans have the obligation and the capacity for empathy, and we must utilize our gifts to protect animals, not greedily slaughter them.

Your blatant disregard of your most vulnerable group of beings is unforgivable, and you only serve to attribute agony and sorrow to your country rather than beauty and giving. Perhaps you believe that, as an official of your community, your actions are beyond reproach. Perhaps you believe the world is blind to your illicit activities. The world, however, is vigilant, and we demand equity and love for your animals. We support Linda Lucas and her shelter!

As such, while you design to destroy the one small oasis of peace for animals, I will promote a boycott of your country and your country products. If a massacre should befall your innocent animals, you will reap the loss of tourism dollars; indeed, it would be financially detrimental for you to continue with your plans to harm these animals and should this occur, you will not only be considered malicious by the global community, but you will also sacrifice vital tourism dollars.

Please do not bear reality to this massacre: support, as we do, Linda Lucas, maintain her shelter, provide for spaying and neutering procedures, accept local and international assistance, criminalize any who abuse animals, and strive to foster an ideal whereby animals are respected, loved, empathized.

Sincerely,

YOUR
