Dear friends,
Thanks to your support, Namigni Animal Sanctuary continues to stand as the only organization worldwide dedicated to rescuing Spanish fighting bulls and cows from abandonment, slaughter, and the unintended consequences of bullfighting bans.
Progress So Far
- We have expanded our herd to 16 rescued bullfighting bulls and cows, each now living safely with dignity and care.
- Our team in Colombia has strengthened partnerships with local allies to prepare for the July 2027 national ban, ensuring that animals discarded in the coming months will not be forgotten.
- We are building awareness beyond Colombia, highlighting similar crises in Mexico, Spain, Portugal, France, Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela, where bans or declining audiences leave animals at risk.
Why Your Support Matters
The ban on bullfighting is perceived as a historic victory, but, without sanctuaries and an action plan, these animals face hunger, neglect, and slaughter. Every symbolic adoption and donation helps us provide food, veterinary care, and safe enclosures. Together, we are proving that compassion can replace cruelty.
Looking Ahead
With your continued support, we aim to:
- Rescue more bulls and cows as breeders dismantle operations.
- Expand facilities to house larger groups safely.
- Launch educational campaigns to shift cultural attitudes and promote sustainable care models.
Your generosity is building a compassionate post-bullfighting world—one where these animals are valued, protected, and given the dignity they deserve.
Thank you for being part of this historic mission.
With gratitude,
Miguel Aparicio
Founder, Namigni Animal Sanctuary
