Burleigh Travel thanked for removing bullfight references from website
13 June 2014

Sports tour specialists Burleigh Travel have been thanked for removing references to bullfighting from their website.

Following an ICABS appeal in which we highlighted the cruelty of bullfighting, the Gloucestershire-based company deleted a suggestion to "visit a traditional bull fight."

A spokesperson said he agreed with our comments and stressed that the company had "never booked or promoted this activity".

Burleigh Travel's response is a big help to our ongoing campaign to encourage holidaymakers to avoid visiting bullrings.

We thank them for this compassionate move. Find out more about their sports tours at http://www.burleightravel.co.uk
