If there’s one way to show the world that bullfighting is cruel, we think it might be to strip off, cover yourself in fake blood, stick a ‘banderillo’ in your back and lay across the streets of Pamplona. That’s why on Saturday over 60 activists from all over the world – seriously, Austria, Germany, Portugal, France, even Florida! – got (mostly) naked and protested against the San Fermin festival, which is currently underway.
It all kicked off this morning with the Running of the Bulls, where bulls are chased through the slippery and winding streets, being hit by runners as they race past. While human injuries are often reported (nine people this year already), it’s the bulls who face a deadly fate, leading onto the bloody bullfights and a gory slaughter.

This is a great post! i’m hearting all these lovely people! This horrific bull-massacre has to end as soon as possible because it’s a shame for the whole human species and against human dignity!
