THE PETITION
Sadly, even though this event is against the law, the Mexican government or local authorites do nothing to stop it And worse yet- this event takes place state wide all year long.
This is part of the well- crafted petition:
"To the president of Mexico Enrique Pena Nieta. Mr. President, you can stop this. For the sake of Mexico you need to stop the "Torneo de Lazo" in Yucatan. To witness this level of violence promotes more violence. Your country is already punished by an ever increasing wave of violence ...Tourism in Mexico is suffering the effects of this violence by the
decreasing numbers of tourists visiting Mexico because of it. ...Besides repairing Mexico's image, this is the decent and humane thing to do....."
I will never understand how these Mexican people find joy in watching a bull eviscerate an innocent horse. I will never understand how they can find pleasure in crowding around and gawking at a felled, seriously injured and suffering horse. In my opinion, it is something which defies a humane explanation.
For people of prayer, here is yet another worthwhile intention to pray for. Hopefully, one day the Spanish people will stop abusing their animals. It just doesn't seem appropriate for a Christian people to act so cruelly towards innocent animals. Of course they are not the only ones who do so.
