Nobel Prize Winner JM Coetzee for PETA

Published by PETA Staff.

I wrote about JM Coetzee a little while back, after he gave an amazing speech in Sydney about animal rights and the ethics of industrialized slaughter practices. But the Nobel Prize winner just came through for animals again by writing to the European Parliament on PETA’s behalf to ask that they support a ban on bullfighting in Europe. You can read about Coetzee’s letter here. The translation’s a bit wobbly, but it’s a great story. I figure the members of the European Parliament who are unaffected by the Running of the Nudes protest that PETA UK holds every year in Spain will respond to an entreaty from a leading figure in the world of letters. Something for everybody, you know?
