On Sunday September 13 will hold the fifth protest in Tordesillas (Valladolid) and condemned the "Torneo del Toro de la Vega" where each year a bull is chased, harassed and killed in the valley of the Duero River. Also be carried out for the second year in Valladolid. Convened by the Party
Antitaurino Against Animal Abuse (Pacman), has been held every second Sunday of September since 2005 and brings together animal advocates from across the English geography and countries like France, Holland and Germany.
The "Torneo del Toro de la Vega" will be held in mid-September this year, the 15th - as part of the celebrations in honor of Our Lady the Virgen de la Peña. An act that involves chasing a bull on horseback or foot through it with spears take it to death.
at noon around the Plaza Mayor of the municipality begins the agony of choice each year. From there, the bull is forced to run through the streets, but until you cross the bridge and go across the river is not allowed stab spears and kill him.
The boy who gets to deliver the deadly spear, the tail of the animal exhibits at the end of his pike. Following his achievement, the winner is awarded a gold badge and a forged iron spear, courtesy of the City of Tordesillas.
Although the tournament has been held for three centuries, was an illegal practice until 1999 when the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla y León said portions and regional tourist attractions. His legislation contravenes established for this type of shows, including the regulation of bullfighting, and essentially prohibits taking the life of the bull before it reaches the zone established for his death and used vehicles motor during the trip.
voices against this celebration bloody, cruel and archaic rise stronger each year. Both animal advocates Spain and the rest of the world as, curiously, supporters and beneficiaries of bullfighting condemn this type of show. The first is based on the right to life of animals, while the latter see it as negative publicity to your business. A more barbaric, if it fits, and completely away from the courage and culture of trying to give the bullfighting to dupe fans increasingly even in the XXI century, go to the places to have fun.
