Sticking up for bulls

Tordesillas (Valladolid), September 2011 – This year, more than five hundred animal defenders met in Tordesillas to protest against the macabre festival of Toro de la Vega, where bulls are chased and speared to death. Animal advocates have organized the campaign “break a lance” to collect signatures and submit them to the territorial delegate of Castilla y Leon in Valladolid, Pablo Trillo Figueroa. This year one of the bulls was named the Afflicted one after he fell to ground overcome by the wounds inflicted on him by spears and, unfortunately for him, the person who was supposed to kill him by severing the spinal cord did not appear. Instead the crowd continued to spear him until one finally delivered the coup de grace with a screwdriver. Another disgusting example from this disgusting spectacle.
