Balls to Bullfighting!

Bullfighting is a cruel and unnecessary pastime in which the severely disadvantaged bull is tortured over a prolonged period before meeting almost certain death.

In a recent independent poll we learned that 89% of the British public would never visit a bullfight and that 76% believe it is wrong for the tourist industry to promote bullfighting.

The League Against Cruel Sports want to take that message to the tour operators, holiday companies and establishments that promote bullfighting to let them know that tourists in Britain want no part in this disgusting so-called tradition.

We are looking for talented designers to come up with a T-shirt design that promotes the ‘Balls to Bullfighting’ message. By the end of the summer we hope everyone from musicians to soap stars and comedians will be wearing the T-shirt with pride and saying … ‘Balls to Bullfighting!’
