We are all aware of the FIA’s ban on political stances during a race weekend. So far, in the season opener, the FIA did not see any infringement of the rule. However, away from the track, Lewis Hamilton is already making a stance on a wholesome yet important issue. The seven-time world champion felt compelled to bring a social injustice to all his 31.7 million followers on Instagram. In addition to spreading awareness, the Brit also pleaded with his fans to stand against a Spanish bill. Although no matter who you are, you will have to agree with the Mercedes man on this stance.

The Brit took to his Instagram to share a piece of horrific news. The news was initially shared by Israeli-Canadian businessman Mark Scheinberg on his Instagram. Hamilton later shared Scheinberg’s post on his story to spread the word and also made a plea on behalf of his beloved dog Roscoe.

Let’s first brief you about the issue. According to Scheinberg’s post, the Spanish government could pass a bill on 8th March. The bill will effectively decriminalize inhuman behavior towards working dogs or street dogs. This bill, if passed, will give perpetrators of acts of violence toward tens of thousands of dogs a free hand.

Hamilton shared this post on his story with a plea as a caption. “Please have a heart and don’t support this bill 💔,” he wrote.

Hamilton always likes to take a stand against animal abuse, unless it is not forced upon him. Moreover, this isn’t the first time the Brit has spoken against animal abuse in Spain.

Lewis Hamilton spoke up against a Spanish animal abuse tradition

We are all aware of the famous Spanish bullfighting tradition. The tradition has also become a tourist attraction activity. However, Hamilton once spoke up against the tradition as kids start learning this tradition as early as 14.

As reported by MARCA, Hamilton said, “This is truly disgusting, Spain! Kids in Spain are taught to torture and kill bulls-starting at age 14. We’re asking Spain’s Ministry of Education to close bullfighting schools, immediately! You can help by sharing the petition.”
