Collection of signatures in France

Nimes, Francia. -The French affiliation CRAC Europe, (Committee Radicalement Anticorrida), is gathering signatures across their web page against the pretension that the UNESCO, with its head office in Paris, declares that bullfights qualify as “Non material Patrimony of Humanity”. To date, the affiliation has gathered more than 6.500 signatures, which will be sent to the French Ambassador in UNESCO. The text, which can be signed only by French citizens, states that: ” We do not want that the bullfights be registered as a Non material Asset of Humanity, which would constitute an enormous retrogression of civilization”. CRAC Europe also plans to spread, during May, 2010, in Nimes, various information pamphlets on the protection of children in Alès Plaza, on the occasion of the “Fair of the Children”, to denounce bullfights. (April, 2010.).
