Stag party company thanked for removing Algarve bullfight option
03 September 2015
A big thank you to Ireland's leading hen and stag party company, Stagit, for removing from its Algarve page an option to attend a bullfight.
Responding to an appeal from the Irish Council Against Blood Sports in which we highlighted the cruelty of Portuguese bullfighting, the award-winning Kinnegad-based company swiftly deleted the bullfight references.
Thumbs up to Stagit for this compassionate response. Find out more about its stag/hen party package booking service at http://www.stagit.ie/
