corridascorridasN’allez pas aux N’allez pas aux

Aller voir un animal innocent et affolé se faire torturer au milieudes cris d’une foule en délire ? Il n’y a pas de quoi être fier. Même sivous vous contentez de jeter un coup d’œil pendant quelquesminutes, le mal est fait : vous avez contribué à financer cetteindustrie de malheur, quand il faudrait chercher à l’abolir.

Plusieurs jours avant la corrida, on épuise le taureau en lui faisantavaler des laxatifs et en le chargeant de lourds sacs de sable. On luilime les cornes jusqu'à la pulpe et on le drogue. Dans l’arène, on luienfonce de longues piques dans le cou et dans le dos pour qu’il nepuisse plus redresser la tête. Affaibli par la perte de sang etdésorienté à force de tourner en rond, le taureau est ensuitetourmenté avec des banderilles pour prolonger le spectacle. Quandle matador entre en scène, le taureau est à bout de forces.

Quant aux chevaux utilisésdans l’arène, on leur coupe lescordes vocales pour que lepublic n’entende pas leurs cris.Ils portent de longs manteauxpour qu’on ne les voie pas sevider de leurs entrailles quandils sont encornés et éventrés.

Aidez ces animaux. N’allezpas aux corridas et faites-le savoir.
