Animal rights activists have stripped half naked and covered themselves in fake blood to protest the Pamplona Bull Run.
Protesters from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and AnimaNaturalis curled up together in a massive pile of miscellaneous limbs to highlight the abuse these animals endure as a result of bull fighting and bull running.
Their placard signs read: ‘Pamplona’s Streets are stained with bull’s blood.’
PETA Director Mimi Bekhechi said: ‘PETA is calling on Spain to end its widely condemned Running of the Bulls event- and, with it, the horrific suffering and abuse of bulls,’ reported the Independent.
This protest took place ahead of the internationally popular Pamplona Bull Run in north-east Spain.
The running of bulls entails keeping ahead of six charging bulls winding around the streets of the old town finishing at the bull ring where the bulls are then fought.
