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.
