Horses tortured in a Mexican blood feast

Horses eviscerated alive for fun

WARNING: strong image

A horse lies on the ground after being forced to take part in the “Torneo de Lazo.”

The news of abused horses has recently become overwhelming. Rarely a week goes by without hearing about a new cruelty scandal where horses are the victims. But the worst kind of violence against animals happens in broad daylight and in public as children witness how we kill animals for “religious sacrifice” or fun.

The latest blood feast comes from the state of Yucatan, in Mexico, where a “rodeo” type event called “Torneo de Lazo” sees bulls ram horses and eviscerate them. Horses don’t die immediately, rather they are left bleeding on the ground as their intestines hang loose. How could this ever be justified? Killing through slow torture. Not for food, but for fun. So killing animals is fun.

According to Avaaz, the horses “usually collapse and while still alive continue to get trampled by bulls and other horses during the length of this violent and cruel event where horsemen try to lasso the running, charging bulls (the bulls are specifically bred and trained to ram horses).”

“Although it is against the law, this is only in name. Mexico’s federal government as well as the local authorities do nothing to stop this. This event takes place state wide all year round.”

Please demand the Mexican government to put and end to this barbaric event and sign Avaaz’s petition
