Please Help Stop “Rapa das Bestas” – The 400-Year-Old Horse Festival That Rounds Up Wild Horses For Torture

“The time will come when humans such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” – Leonardo da Vinci“If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth – beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals – would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals?” – George Bernard ShawHuman beings kill billions of animals every single year. How we treat animals is a great measure of where we are at as a human race. We are so out of balance with nature that all beings on the planet are suffering everyday. Earth is such a beautiful place, it can be perceived as a paradise but on the other hand, it can also be perceived as hell.It’s great to meet, know and see more and more people who look into the eyes of an animal and feel love, respect and equality. I cannot believe I live on a planet, and belong to a race of people that treats animals the way that so many of us do, but we can change and still have time to do so.Every year, hundreds and hundreds of wild horses in Spain are rounded up and wrestled to the ground as part of a Spanish festival that has lasted approximately 400 years. It’s called “The Rapa das Bestas,” which literally translates to “Shearing of The Beasts,” where horses are forced to the ground, wrestled and have their manes and tails clipped. Horses that are born in the year of the festival are then branded.Keep in mind that these are completely wild horses in the mountains of North Western Spain, and multiple communities in Spain participate in the event.Apparently, the first record of the festival was at the beginning of the 18th century. The ‘beasts,’ (horses are not beasts) were brought down from the mountains for cropping and branding. The event coincided with celebration, wine, parties and was primarily done for the maintenance of the horses hygiene as well as for keeping track of the herds.The event takes place over the first Saturday, Sunday and Monday of July. Herders make their way to the horses, numbering in the hundreds and  divided into over a dozen herds. They live in the wild across acres of land stretching more than 200 km across the mountains.Read More plus see photos @http://www.occupyforanimals.org/a-rapa-das-bestas.htmlRead and See More @ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2682307/Brave-fighters-try-wild-horses-steaming-Spanish-town-400-year-old-festival-lasts-four-days.html
