I AM delighted that Chorley MP Lindsay Hoyle is pressing the Spanish Government to end the hideous practice of bullfighting.

As in all events where one man is pitted against one animal, cheating takes place to ensure that the animal cannot win.

This public cruelty to animals is abhorrent to most people -- yet bullfighting is actively promoted in Spain.

I would urge people choosing to holiday in Spain to show their opposition by boycotting such events -- even better, write to the Spanish Government expressing your concerns.

Lindsay Hoyle must be congratulated in taking this initiative and deserves support in his bid to consign this evil tradition to the annals of the past.

Mrs Irene Fogarty,

Chorley.
