Shameful publicity

Nimes, Francia. – The members of the commercial center Carrefour-Nimes-Etoile have attempted to publicise bullfights by raffling a suit of lights (traditional bullfighter costume) and tickets to bullfights in order to promote the Nimes Fair. The companies Yves Rocher and Frank Provost disassociated themselves from this initiative as soon as they heard about the theme of the promotion. The association Alliance Anticorrida (Anti Bullfighting) was present last May 20, the day of the prize draw, publicly destroying Carrefour loyalty cards, and voicing their protest at this shameful promotion in a centre where families come with children.
