Every September, the Toro de la Vega festival takes place in Spain.
During the festival, a single bull is chased through the streets into a field, where men on foot and horseback are waiting with spears.
The poor bull, scared and confused, is repeatedly stabbed until he lies crippled and dying.
Terrible!
Sometimes, his testicles are cut off while he’s still alive.
This year’s bull died only after being stabbed in the head with a screwdriver!
Just because it’s “tradation” doesn’t mean animal cruelty is excused.
If you’d like to send a polite comment to the mayor or the tourist office and urge them to stop this cruel “festival” you can find them below:
Contact The Honorable José Gonzalez Vidal Adalia (Mayor) HERE.
