“Humanity’s true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals.”

Milan Kundera
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, 1984

"The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated "
 Mahatma Gandhi

 February 2008: WSPA and Spanish member society Asociación Defensa Derechos Animal (ADDA) are hosting a unique anti-bullfighting conference, United Against Cruelty, in Barcelona later this month.

For the first time in Catalonia, speakers from the fields of philosophy, art, politics, media, law and science are coming together to offer their own unique perspectives on the cruelty of bullfighting.

Addressing politicians, academics, students, animal welfare organisations, the general public and WSPA member societies from across Europe, the speakers will be supporting a conference resolution encouraging the Catalan Parliament to push forward with the proposed ban on bullfighting in the region.

And you can take an action to support the conference resolution right now.

Please sign WSPA’s petition calling for an end to bullfighting in Catalonia and join our conference speakers and participants in denouncing this blood sport as unacceptably cruel.
