Pacma announces mobilizations if the Toro de la Vega is held again


The Pacma Animalist Party announces mobilizations and legal actions if the Toro de la Vega is held again in Tordesillas (Valladolid). In a statement sent to the media, Pacma rejects that this “embarrassing” event does a “very poor favor” to the image of Spain. “We don’t want the bull not to be killed; we want the tournament to end in all its forms and we will invest whatever effort is necessary to achieve it,” Pacma advanced.

Despite the fact that a change in the rules of the game is predicted, the animalist party considers that it is a “facelift” to be able to maintain, for a while longer, a party that is already “socially condemned” for the benefit of ” the usual ones.”

Pacma affirms that the discourse and actions carried out in recent years have been aimed at the abolition of this tradition, without “half measures” such as the number of participants or the absence of public death of the animal being accepted, although the ” torture” continues to occur “with sharp objects” that cause “painful injuries and internal damage” to his body.

“The agonizing death of the animal is not the only type of suffering it suffers when fifty armed people run and fight to skewer it,” says Javier Luna, president of the group. Similarly, the party points out that what is prevented in the ordinance that seeks to comply with Royal Decree 2/2016, of May 19, is death in public, not death itself, although in private it could be carried out ” in ways that would not even be exposed to public opinion.

Contradictory statements by the mayor of Tordesillas

This party alludes directly to the declarations of the mayor of Tordesillas, Miguel Ángel Oliveira, who assures that “the bull does not suffer and no harm is done to it”, a fact that he mentions at the same time that he speaks of the authorized size of the harpoon and the currency, or even the possibility of embedding up to seven of these elements in the body of the animal. It is said that he declares himself “the winner” if he endures the seven harpoons.

Pacma has developed different actions of great social impact against this and other bullfights in Spain for a decade. For this reason, he claims to have the experience and means to let those responsible know that this tournament “has its days numbered”, even if it is necessary to “demonstrate every day at the gates of the City Council”, they assert.
