Protestors Storm Bullring in Spain

Activists from anti-bullfighting and animal rights group Equanimal stormed a Spanish bullring over the weekend during the festival of San Isidro. Check out the video below of six protestors braving the matador’s wrath as they cling to their banners in the centre of Las Ventas, Madrid. Want to stick it to the bullfighting industry yourself? We’ve got a huge protest happening in early July in Pamplona, contact me for more details. It’s time this blood ‘sport’ was banished to the history books for good.

Great! Viva Spain! There are so many protestors there…strange that they are still murdering bulls! Not to mention dogs and cats! Keep fighting for the RIGHT CAUSE! Animals need us as they cannot speak for themselves! Thank you EQUANIMAL AND PETA for the news!

I’m Spanish and I’m ashamed that this bloody show characterises my country, it is time everybody stand up against it, people of all nationalities. Not only are some Spaniards savages, but there are many foreign tourists that pay to see agony and suffering.

Soy española y me avergüenzo de esta maldita “fiesta” y las ayudas que recibe.
