A group of around 80 people demonstrated on Thursday afternoon in the center of Dénia to demand the end of the celebrations of the Bous a la Mar. The concentration left at 19:00 hours from Glorieta accompanied by a strong police presence formed by four vehicles and numerous agents.
The protesters toured the Calle Marques de Campo holding protest signs that could be read "Stop Cruelty," "He feels fear and pain. Suffering is not fun," "Stop torture. It is not art or culture." o "Festes sense mistreat animal", among other messages.
During the tour recorded in different languages explaining the reason for the demonstration and their opinion about the Bous a la Mar in particular and the celebrations with bulls in general.
The procession reached the end of the Esplanade Cervantes, at the height of the bullring, where at that time was being held the evening session of Bous a la Mar. There, representatives of the organization and various participating groups took the floor to demand the end of these celebrations, recriminating that it is not a tradition, but a "archaic practice".
The protests of the animal collective do not end here. This Friday they have called a new protest rally that will start at 11: 00 hours at Marqués de Campo.

I support that people learn to have fun without having to mediate the suffering of a being, even more so when it is a being as complex and sentient as a bull. The parties are very good, but why is it necessary to make another person suffer to celebrate? Someday society will think of these holidays as we can now think of Roman events with gladiators. It is clear that we have more affinity with people than with animals but I have cited this example because we must remember that in Roman times only Roman citizens were worthy of being treated with respect and humanity. That's where his empathy came. Like that there are many more examples. How many people would be horrified that they tortured a puppy and yet is a being similar to a bull in intelligence and affective and sensory capacity. Hopefully compassion and empathy will grow and each time we include more beings in our radius of compassion.
Long live Els bous to the sea! That they never take them off, that 4 is already good cats, who do not know where to fall dead. What we would have to do all those who like bous to the sea, is to go out also to demand that no party is taken away.
Are you absolutely right Maria of the O. Q more gives? Boy then if you do not like them then you stay at home and call this fuck
