The Toro de la Vega "festival" takes place every September in the province of Tordesillas, Spain. The event entails chasing a young bull through the streets of Castilla y León and stabbing him with darts and spears until he is bleeding and crippled. His testicles are cut off while he is still alive. If he doesn't die of his injuries, the person who ultimately kills him is awarded a ceremonial spear and a medal by the City Council.

Instead of celebrating the town's culture, this event shows a callous disregard for animals. It is unacceptable to harass, torment and kill animals in the name of culture or tradition, and such senseless spectacles have no place in civilised society.
