A seat was kindly given to me directly in front of the police, at the
entrance in to the arena. One hoped to trouble the consciences of any
going in to watch this bloody and barbaric spectacle. It's surprising
what a collar can do!
Incidentally, it is gratifying to know that in Spain, the city
fathers of Barcelona have come down against the spectacle of bull
fighting! Let's highly commend them for the same. Appalling indeed that
a Spanish archbishop has been an avid supporter of this grotesque sport
for many years. The late Hans Fishinger - to his dying day - made a
constant one man stand against the appalling example of several priests
within the Catholic Church of which he was a practising member. 'May his
efforts never have been in vain!' Thankfully I was introduced to one of
his great admirers while outside the Aries bullring: the militant David
Whiting whose late mother (Lady Dowding) brought into being: BEAUTY
WITHOUT CRUELTY.
I tell you this: with people such as Hans Fishinger and Lady Dowding
looking down upon us from the battlements of Glory, we are assured of
tremendous victory. Yes, and let us thank God for living saints. I think
of 84-year-old Joan Court's recent 48 hour hunger strike in opposition
to a proposed new vivisection complex in Oxford. Yes, and I'm sure we're
all grateful to a top heart specialist whose exposed the fallacy of
Vivisection. I refer to respected trauma surgeon Jerry Vlasak. If the
Home Secretary forbids him future entry to the UK- or indeed, calls the
army in against us - he'll surely encounter more than he bargains for.
He grossly underestimates the power and vigilance of animal activists
who are the most compassionate and caring people in the whole world.
