The Franz Weber Foundation has denounced the free entry for children under six years old, as well as the discount for children under 12to the bullfighting festival organized in Gor (Grenade). He also recalled that the Committee on the Rights of the Child urged Spain to prohibit the presence of minors in bullfighting events.
This organization has requested this Thursday that the promotions and offers aimed at minors be withdrawn to access a bullfight that will be held this Saturday in Gor.
The promoters of this bullfight offer free access for children up to six years old and a discount on the ticket price for children between six and 12 years old, which according to the Foundation clearly fails to comply with international objections made in recent years.
The naturalist organization has asked administrations to work for the protection of children and demand the removal of any type of advertising or promotion you are looking for promote the access of minors to this type of activities.
He also regretted that the promoters of the event, who have the collaboration of different public administrations according to the advertising poster, intend to integrate children into an activity where “explicit violence towards animals” occurs.
The Franz Weber Foundation has also requested the withdrawal of an offer of free access for children up to six years old to a bullfight and a bullfight announced for next weekend in the municipality of Niebla (Huelva). As in Granada, promoters also offer discounts for children between six and twelve years old.
Naturalists, with consultative status in this international organization of specialists in children’s rights, have warned that the evaluation report to Spain for 2018 included a very clear text regarding the participation or presence of minors 18 years old in bullfighting shows, emphasizing that they had to be kept away of them.
The foundation has urged the public administrations involved to work for the protection of children and adolescents, urging the withdrawal of any type of advertising or promotion that seeks to encourage their access to activities harmful to their social, moral, intellectual or psychological development. .
