Before you proceed to change.org petitions I must put some personal remarks. Around 70% are Spanish petitions. Among them, maybe 20% are petitions that worth something. Other petitions either don't have a target or are so stupid that the target is the same as the person who started the petition! Some don't have background so I have no idea what I'm petitioning and 90% don't have a decently written petition letter. It is on you to choose which petition you will sign (there is a google translation below each petition) or you can sign the ones that have already gathered couple of hundered signatures. Thank you!

51. Vlaams Minister van Cultuur, Joke Schauvliege: Stop de subsidies aan Jan Fabre
    On Thursday, October 25, 2012 a horrible scene took place in the Antwerp City Hall: cats were thrown meters into the air. Just before the scenes were shot, they got tranquilizers to keep them calm! The event was filmed by an official of the City of Antwerp and he placed it online. The video clearly shows that several cats smacked on the stairs, and their screams are loud and clear. The screaming was so pervasive that people elsewhere in the building at a meeting heard it. So they went to see what was going on.
    The scenes were shot for a movie of the French production company ‘Regards productions’. They make a movie about the life of Jan Fabre. J. Fabre himself was present during the shooting of the scenes. He even was dancing on top of the stairs… Afterwards he stated explicitly that he had no problems with these shots what so ever.
    Art may shock people, it may excite people, it can make us wonder about society and questions things… But it should never involve physical or emotional damage to animals.
    We, citizens of Belgium, do not wish that our tax money is invested in artists participating animal cruelty just ‘for the art’.
    Animal abusers do not belong in the ‘world of art’ and don’t need to be financially supported by us.
    We, all who sign this petition, therefore demand that all funding will be cut for Jan Fabre and his ‘art’ projects.
