Valencia, España. This past Monday, August 11th, was the deadline to submit objections to the draft of the new Regulations for traditional bull festivals (festejos taurinos) in the Valencian Community (which implements the Regional Law 14/2010). AnimaNaturalis warns that this regulation represents a serious move towards crueler practices and a setback for animal protection.

Balearic Islands exposes children to bullfighting violence

Palma de Mallorca, España. The promotion of €9 children's tickets for the August 7th bullfight in Palma has reopened social wounds in the Balearic Islands. After PP and Vox's legal reform overturned the ban in place since 2017, animal rights groups, left-wing parties, and experts condemn children's exposure to what they call "institutionalized violence," while bullfighting supporters defend their right to transmit tradition.

This is the fate of every bull that runs in Pamplona’s San Fermín Festival

Pamplona, España. Very few people know that the same bulls running through the streets during the traditional San Fermín encierros are killed in the bullring that same evening. It's not a secret, yet even the residents of Pamplona are largely unaware of this tragedy. This new investigation by our team sheds light on this hidden cruelty.

Is Torture Cultural? Half a Million Spaniards Say No

Madrid, España. In the heart of Spain, a quiet revolution is unfolding. More than half a million people have signed a petition to strip bullfighting of its status as cultural heritage, a designation it has held since 2013. The initiative, aptly named "No Es Mi Cultura" (“It’s not my culture”), has become a rallying cry for a nation increasingly uncomfortable with the spectacle of blood and suffering. But this is more than a campaign against bullfighting; it is a referendum on what kind of society Spain wants to be.
