Estimado Sr. Presidente: Cada año, en Villanueva de la Vera (Cáceres), se celebra el Peropalo. El Peropalo es una fiesta de Carnaval que cuenta con la distinción de Fiesta de Interés Turístico Regional y que tiene un gran valor cultural y antropológico. La celebración se prolonga durante varios días y son diversos los rituales que tienen lugar. Sin embargo, el martes de Carnaval, un asno es utilizado en un ritual, conocido como Corrida de Elecciones; este uso implica crueldad y maltrato, y, ocasiona sufrimiento al asno y le hace objeto de un tratamiento antinatural. La Ley 5/2002 de Protección de los Animales en la Comunidad autónoma de Extremadura prohíbe expresamente este tipo de prácticas. [art. 2.2 a) y art. 4.1 a)] Ante la inminente celebración del Carnaval de Villanueva de la Vera y del ritual de la Corrida de Elecciones, ponemos estos hechos en su conocimiento para que, desde su cargo como Presidente del Consejo de Gobierno de la Junta de Extremadura, impulse las medidas necesarias para evitar el uso del asno en esta celebración, por tratarse de una clara infracción de la Ley 5/2002 de Protección de los Animales en la Comunidad Autónoma de Extremadura, y en aplicación de la DISPOSICIÓN FINAL PRIMERA de la antedicha Ley que autoriza al Consejo de Gobierno para que dicte cuantas disposiciones resulten necesarias para su desarrollo y ejecución. Atentamente,

Well there goes my plan to visit Spain this summer. Fuck the Spanish if they think they are going to get my tourism dollars and that applies to the entire group of 7 others that I was going to go with. We are making our voices heard by not supporting Spain with our money while this abuse continues. Wake the fuck up!

anche io non tornerò più in Spagna come turista finché non metteranno al bando questo schifo degno del peggior periodo medioevale!

Una delle cause del perdurare di queste orribili tradizioni sono proprio i turisti che partecipano a queste barbarie!!! In più vengono finanziati dalla comunità europea!!!! Basta atrocità. Non verrò più in Spagna finchè non verrà abolito questo olocausto animale!!! (le Corrida, la mattanza dei Calgos, il Toro della Vega, l'orrore di Pamplona, le perreras ecc....)

Es una vergüenza absoluta que esto siga pasando en pleno siglo XXI. Me da asco pensar que se diviertan haciendo sufrir a un animal indefenso, no pienso volver a poner un pie en Villanueva de la Vera mientras permitan estas salvajadas!
