CAS International
CAS International (Comité Anti Stierenvechten) is the biggest organization in the world which works exclusively on the abolition of bullfighting and cruel fiestas (festivals) during which bulls and other animals are tortured. Together with our colleague organizations, we want to end this animal abuse as soon as possible.

Bullfighting
Bullfighting is one of the most cruel forms of animal abuse. Every year, more than 250,000 bulls and cows are tortured and killed worldwide during bullfights and similar events.
Also during fiestas ('village festivals'), tens of thousands of bulls and other animals are severely maltreated.

Videos of cruel fiestas
Below, you will find several videos of cruel fiestas, or reports about them. Most cruel fiestas take place in Spain, but also in other countries, bulls and other animals are tortured and killed in a horrible manner.

La verguënza de Tordesillas (Spain)
The reports below show the horrible fiesta Toro de la Vega in the Spanish town of Tordesillas. Every year, a bull is chased and stabbed with spears by many men on foot and on horse.
The shame of Tlacotalpan (Mexico)
Every year in February, a horrible fiesta (Embalse de Toros) takes place in Tlacotalpan (Mexico), during which at least zeven bulls (and sometimes also cows) are forced to drink spirits and are forced to swim through a deep river, tied to boats. Once they arive ashore, they are chased and tortured with knives and other weapons, until they die.
