Groupama insurance company asked to stop advertising at bullfights
26 September 2013
French Insurance and banking company, Groupama, has been urged to show compassion and stop advertising at bullfights. An advertisement banner for the company was on display on 1st September at a bullring in the South of France where bulls were tortured, killed and dragged away.

"It is disappointing to note that Groupama had an advertisement banner in place during a cruel bullfighting event at Arènes de Plumaçon in Mont-de-Marsan this month," ICABS stated in a letter to the company. "It is surprising that your company would choose to associate with this horrendous animal cruelty - particularly as a majority of people across France and Europe are opposed to bullfighting and want it outlawed."
Video footage posted on Youtube shows bulls being tortured and killed in front of the Groupama banner. See the video at http://youtu.be/FUK0OyzvZoQ?t=4m52s Warning: Graphic content.
