Sick Sick Sick and we pay for it.

I suppose I am an animal lover, not a softie hippie type, but someone who believes that all animals deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. Cruelty has no place on this planet in any shape or form. I know most of us eat meat, although after recent revelations about halal meat etc, I am seriously considering turning vegetarian. But even us meat eater like to think that the  animals have lived good lives and have been well looked after, and when they are killed, its done as painlessley and quickly as possible with paramount importance being given to reducing suffering and anxiety as much as possible.
So how do you think I felt this morning when I found out that our Tax money via the  undemocratic European Union is being used to subsidise, barbaric blood festivals in Spain. You van read the article here. But I have taken a few snippets from it to try and spare you having to read the full article which is to any sane person disturbing

Next month, for example, Spain’s fire-bull festivals begin. In these, burning balls of wax and paraffin are attached to a bull’s horns and the terrified animal is chased through the streets. Most survive, but they often suffer horrific injuries. For its part, the European Commission (the executive body of the EU) says it genuinely does not know how much money it is pumping into Spanish blood fiestas......................................

Marcos held aloft the bloodsoaked bull’s ears and bowed deeply to the crowd. Moments earlier he’d sliced them off the young bull, which now lay on one side, blood pooling beneath him...........................................................................................................................................................
But the poor creature wasn’t quite finished yet. In a pitiful act of defiance, he mustered just enough energy to raise his head a few inches off the ground and tried to stare down his attackers.
Marcos responded by unsheathing a vicious looking knife and stabbing him in the back of the neck for a second time. The bull’s head flopped back into the dust — he was finished and Marcos, the amateur matador, yelled in triumph...........................................................................................................................What I saw was a celebration of mob rule, of cruelty, of wickedness, even. As I watched Platanito’s eyes close for the last time, I felt sick to my stomach to know that I had helped pay for his death with my taxes — just as you had too.

So folks your money is paying for this barbarity. You know it's wrong, and the only answer is for us to get out of the European Union, and voting for UKIP is the only answer. Britain has long been regarded as a nation of animal lovers, I think this is due to our natures as people and the fact we think cruelty is wrong. We have moved on over the last few hundred years as a nation, but it seems that we are being forced to pay for and support countries that carry out practices that belong in the Dark Ages.
