The regional ministry of the environment and agriculture has demanded that the town hall in Fornalutx send the ministry a “complete report” which shows that the bull-run (in which the bull is held by ropes to its horns) meets current legislation. The letter arrived at the town hall less than 48 hours before the event which takes place today (Friday).

It's bad enough that we slaughter animals for meat. How can any civilised and modern person enjoy killing as a sport. Torturing a sentient being. These mammals have almost identical neurotransmitters and neural pathways to humans. They don't have language like we do but you'd have to be pretty stupid to not realise that they feel pain and fear. If Spain wants to be proud of that then I don't want to holiday amongst those people any more. Please change this.
We did a protest yesterday to stop this, wish there would have been more people with us
