For 2010 if these rodeos succed the plans are to expand to Sweden and the Netherlands.
Enough is enough - we have enough barbarity in Europe with bullfights, we can not allow the import of other barbarities.
Our Movement together with Initiative Anti-Corrida (Germany) and the Movimento Antispecista ( Italy) have already sent letters to the German and Italian authorities asking them to not allow these rodeos.
Two months passed by without any reply. We must fight hard to prevent these rodeos frpm taking place. Their aim is to integrate them in the championships of rodeos which means that Europe would became part of these championships holding rodeos every year from now on.
