Boa my Manila the Punio Penn there was a letter about animal abuse in your june i edition. I just wanted to say thanks to the person who wrote it. 1 totally agree with the stayments that were made. As i read on in the stars and stripes there was a startling set of pictures on pages m and 15 of a bullfight. The Story was very Well written and the pictures were professionally done but that is one of the Many animal abuses which the letter was com menting on that makes no sense. Why put this Beautiful animal who has no Choice in the matter in a ring just to be brutally killed for the Sake of sport Why people enjoy watching this Type of sport i Don t know nor do 1 really want to find out. Sure a lot of men gel hurl and even killed in this sport but look at How Many bulls have been killed compared to the amount of men. Men also have the Choice of whether or not they want to take he Chance. If the fans of this sport Are blood thirsty we Don t they put two men in there at least they would be making the Choice. I am nut saing that the people who like this sport Are stupid but that i just Don t understand what they get out of watching a Beautiful animal being senselessly slaughtered. Because of this the Black Bull May some Day dwindle in number. Even though they fire not now it May still happen. Just re member Buffalo were plentiful Loo. Spec. 4 Jane m.
