Thank you Brenda. These guys really are angels. They say that nothing will stop them from defending animals: nothing whatsoever. In tiny numbers, usually representing either the number of the bulls which get killed etc, they face angry, aggressive, violent mobs who attack them all the time, while they do their peaceful protest. The violence and aggression comes from the police too, wherever they go. I truly admire them and all my respect goes to them.

Nice job. They won't convince the morons sitting in the arena but they should be able to reach a larger audience with that stunt! I'm proud of them.

Sigh - I have so much respect and admiration for these folk,I really want to leave a message of support,but once again - could not leave a comment - this time with the message

Using code 'tags' or link addresses in comments is not permitted.

I'm pleased to see others have been able to do so,though - there are some vile comments on there,so as many supportive comments as possible must be helpful.

Noted with respect for these brave activists and prayers for the safety of all those fighting for the lives of these innocent bulls.

It will be a day of true celebration when this horrific torture and murder of bulls is stopped once and for all!

When the Whole World stands behind these brave People, Then they should know that the brave stand on the side of righteousness and what they are doing to these animals is wrong and shameful against all that is right, every animal has a right to live, and to take that life as a sport? is against moral and ethics of a human being.

None of the links worked which was probably a good thing. I have always cheered for the bull in this barbaric sport. The older I get the more frequently I am ashamed to be human. I applaud and support there protesters.

I hope people notice how empty those stands are. Doesn't look like much of a crowd to me. With not many people going to these, we have to wonder what and who finances them.

Bullfighting is disgusting. My spanish friends knew I hated it and when in Spain took me to a Tapas bar where they only show footage of the bull winning the fight. I can tell you I was cheering out loud for every one of the bulls! Sadly though the reality is the bull rarely wins. I cant wait for the day this practise is finally outlawed. Thank you for the update

The police are as corrupt and violent as the bull fighters, something must be done about human rights too if it has to come to this.
The activists are just standing up for what is RIGHT, and they get beat up for it...where the hell is the justice in that!?

Kathy C., so far, it´s been the bloody Spanish government and the European government that subsidise them, and this has been keeping them alive. There are also wan**rs who promote these savage practices abroad and make a lot of money out of promoting them (please see my news about this here:

http://www.care2.com/news/member/682882170/795210

which I´d appreciate if you could note, as we have to get people to complain to these nobodys and I only have 24 notes and two comments. Thank you.)

JACQUIE, you MUST tell me where this place is! It sounds like my kind of bar!!

As long as the King supports that disgusting tradition of cruelty, it is an up-hill battle to get Spain to stop the Bull-fighting.

Good work by the activists who face danger with a brave heart. Kudos to them.

Bullfighting and other animal bloodsports are sadistic. It is time for us to stop these insane "sports". If necessary, people who enjoy seeing such things could get some therapy to overcome their sadistic personality problems.
