The Animalist Platform Marina Alta (PAMA) together with other animal organizations have requested the holding of a popular referendum on the Bous a la Mar. "We think that we citizens are the ones who should choose what we want for our city, that's why we pay taxes," communicates the organization.
"If the majority does not want and does not participate in a bullfight, we request that we use democracy with a popular referendum so that all citizens registered in the city of Dénia vote for the suppression of the bulls in the July festivities."
Collection of signatures and alternatives
To reinforce the request, PAMA has opened a online signature collection with which to join the demand. In its first hours, the petition already has more than 12.000 signatures.
The intention of PAMA and the rest of the animal organizations is that the Bous a la Mar be replaced by "fun and attractive" alternatives in which no animal suffers.

They care more about animals than people. 4000 suicides a year for the communist ruin, but that doesn't matter.
And why don't they make a referendum so that salaries increase at the same speed as the standard of living?
They start defending animals that are not mistreated, they are only made to play, like I play with my dog to run... stop being silly and focus your energy on injustices and on things with high priority.
I do not agree with animal abuse but I think that between black and white there is a great variety of colors. and everyone happy
There have already been prohibitions in the bullfighting field, you just have to enforce them.
And remember that we live from tourism and bullfighting and the bullfighting environment add up.
A cordial greeting and sleep early that makes you wake up with a fresh mind.
Are you sure that the bullfighting atmosphere adds up? Tourists may not see it that way. Here people come for sun and beach. And I wish we lived off tourism with the amount of people who come, we would all be bourgeois but our society is still just as poor. What coincidence right?
Enough of animal abuse!!! It's enough for those who want to have fun to do it with their lives, they don't need animals!!! It is bullshit of the human being, always inventing absurd and cruel things, so that some drunks have fun!!!
dear drunken nuria you I don't drink I need the bous to the sea they are from denia for 120 years and they don't hit them or anything like that the greeks already did it that is enough of cheap and musty populism if you see that someone mistreats a heifer please report it in denia we do not mistreat the bulls sincerely peret
If you don't want to t'amuser avec the bulls or go past more n'empêche pas les autres de s'amuser ça fait 500 ans that cette culture et tradition exists in Dénia et arrête de dire de conneries les animaux ne souffrent pas.
,Apropos your dwelling Dénia? yes no yes you come on vacation go ailleurs or rent chez toi et arrete d'emmerder le monde et surtout les citoyens de la Ville
What seems unfortunate and sad to me is that there has to be a referendum for this bunch of deranged people to stop doing this outrage. Have fun at the expense of suffering, and do you have to hold a referendum?♀️. Human scum is what they are, while they enjoy, an animal suffers.Human beasts!!!.Rednecks!!!!This cannot be tolerated, and should be banned immediately.?♀️
et ta connerie si tu n'aime pas n'y vas pas c'est toi l'écume humaine c'est le toro qui ta dit qu'il souffre?
et arrête d'empêcher les autres de s'amuser, et rentre chez toi au lieu d'emmerder la population de Denia
get out there and help the hungry sick and persecuted people that doesn't sell stop pounding denia ride the chicken somewhere else hitler loved animals but you know people leave us alone we're sick of the same little number get out of here now and come back where do you come
Oh what enjoyment watching an animal suffer and maybe drown – how macho!!
You were doing well until you reached the final expression. If you translate the rest of the comments, you even hatch and find out about the real opinions of the Spanish beyond the cliché of cheap tourist agency that you drag.
Damn, well, with 12000 signatures collected if they run for municipal elections, with those votes they come out with an absolute majority and they can take down the party they want. Thus, the other citizens who also pay taxes save us the expense of the referendum.
