The death of a horse at the Tres Tombs reopens the debate on the use of animals in traditions

Barcelona, España. The sudden death of Santo, an eight-year-old horse, during the bicentenary of the Tres Tombs in Barcelona has sparked a wave of outrage and put a centuries-old tradition under scrutiny. While organizers insist the animal “was not tired,” animal protection groups are calling for an end to the use of horses in events that expose them to stress and danger. How long will culture continue to outweigh animal welfare?

Europe on the verge of excluding hunting dogs from animal protection regulations

Madrid, España. Every year, over 50,000 dogs used for hunting are abandoned, mutilated, or killed in Spain after being deemed "useless" for hunting. While the European Parliament debates a historic law to protect dogs and cats, hunting lobbies are pushing to exclude these animals from any legal defense. How would you feel if your lifelong companion were discarded like a worthless object?

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.

Thanks to the swift response of the community and animal protection organizations, the effects of this catastrophe on the lives of hundreds of animals were somewhat mitigated.
