Interestingly, the AR group working on the petition claims to have been working on it in the same timeframe as the other EU AR groups. They are claiming victory already even though it's just a change.org petition. It is all part of smart PR, so these guys seem to be very well funded, like other anti-zoo groups. I wish we knew where that money was coming from and why.

That money... comes from lucrative returns. Bestiality quickly outrages people, and they throw money in to stop the perverted sadists raping the poor, defenceless furkids. Campaigning against it draws practically zero opposition, so the returns are only limited by the capabilities of PR.
Portugal will not want to appear uncivilised, and therefore the age-old tales of the men living alone with animals in the Portuguese mountains will not be stood for. If it's made illegal in Spain, Portugal will soon fall.
Herein we see... the Zooman Doctrine.

Money might not be a part of it. A change.org petition is among the lowest keyboard activist expenditures you can make for doing something without lifting your ass.
I totally agree thought that all this is essentially the largest most douchebaggy and double standarded PR and feelgood circlejerking in real life possible.
Also, it's a kind of irony of the non-caring cold universe that this post is just over the "overcompensating" post. It's like a critique on our society nowadays.

Yeah but bull fighting is fine. If you're going to kill it for game it's totally okay. Kill it in the most in humane way possible.

Didn't know it was legal!

In many countries and US states, it's legal simply because no lawmakers have bothered to make it illegal. There's no law specifically protecting it, but there's also no law specifically prohibiting it, because nobody thought anyone would actually do it. Kind of like how it's legal to smoke salvia (in the US) because most normal people don't know or care what savlia is, and wouldn't have tried to smoke it in the first place. (For those who don't know, salvia is a hallucinogen that induces a short, extremely intense high when smoked).
The problem is when anti-zoo activist groups point this out, the vast majority of registered voters don't jump into an informed debate. That would be too much work. Instead, they scratch their heads, realize "oh yeah, we kinda forgot about that", then step aside and let the activists ban it.

Technically, it's legal. A lot of places will still snag you for "animal abuse".

And yet, bull fighting is a-okay.
