"Free for All" - Management Disclaimer.

Management
of Ribeco Group ®, as private individuals if not as representatives of
a company, do not shy away from taking position on social and cultural
issues (even if most of us are politically uncommited other than to the

a personal involvement, e.g. with animal shelters or aiding in the care
of a colony of semi-wild cats in L'Escala (Costa Brava), finding new
homes for stray dogs, etc., our CEO Rick Beets, hasn't shied away from the barricades. As such, since 1999, he's been a material contributor to the abolition of bullfights
in the city of Barcelona and in Catalonia. With the aid of political
relations, among them a few EU Parliament Members, the pressure is now
