Ricky Gervais Video Urging Yes Vote In Spain Bullfighting Ban
Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, June 3rd, 2010 in Actors, Animal Issues, Comedians.
Ricky Gervais is working with the World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA) in a campaign to outlaw bullfighting in the Catalonia region of Spain.
In a PSA recorded for the organization, Gervais says, “WSPA is trying to stop needless acts of cruelty all over the world. The Catalonian government in Spain is on the verge of voting for a ban on bullfighting. Catalonian MPs will be voting on the issue and you can do your bit to help.”
Next month (July), politicians in Spain will vote on a proposal to end to sport, which injures humans and ultimately kills bulls. Most recently, one of Spain’s most famous matadors, Julio Aparicio, was gored in the throat during a bullfight that left him in critical condition.
