A group of activists from AnimaNaturalis and CAS International stripped half naked in Palma to demand an end to bullfighting in the Balearic Islands.

As bullfighting season began in the Plaza de Toros in Palma, the animal rights group, AnimaNaturalis, supported by local protest group Mallorca Against Bullfighting held the demonstration outside Palma City Hall on Sunday, August 6.

According to official data from the Ministry of Culture, the number of bullfighting shows in the bullring has maintained a sustained decline from 2015 onwards, not counting the years of the pandemic.

According to the Ministry of Culture, said Guerreño, only 8 per cent of the population attended a bullfighting show in the 2018-2019 period.

Only 5.9 per cent of them attended a bullfight at a bullring, and a fifth of all attendees did so with free admission.

The same study indicates that 80 per cent of bullfighting events in Spain are concentrated in the provinces of Madrid, Toledo, Salamanca, Ávila and Cuenca.

At present, the Canary Islands and Catalonia are considering abolishing bullfighting. In Asturias this type of event has also ceased to be held after the city of Gijón’s decision not to allow them.

In the Balearic Islands, regulations were approved in 2017 to follow in the footsteps of the rest of the Autonomous Communities that have prohibited bullfighting, but the Constitutional Court reversed this progress, at the request of the government of Mariano Rajoy, who had declared it as cultural heritage in 2013.

There are just two municipalities in Mallorca which allow bullfighting, and these are Inca and Palma

LOL, in Mallorca, how did they know the topless women weren’t just sunbathing and not protesting???

I went to Mallorca when I was in the Navy, then on my honeymoon, and again, on our ten year anniversary.

I liked Mallorca. A lot.

I take it, going to bullfights on acid is out of the question?

Usually those demonstrating naked are not the types you care to see naked.

Not enough pictures at the source to make a sound judgement.

Depends on how you're dressed, I guess.

While I am no animal rights activist, I never could see the point of torturing an animal to death.

Abusing animals is not any more acceptable than abusing people.

Those ladies can protest on my front lawn any day they want. I will even give them food wine etc. and care for their ever need.

It is Spain, though, so there's a decent chance some of the ladies are worth the view.

Cutting the bulls neck tendons before the fight removes this activity from the realm of “sport”.

As a teenager back in the 60's, I remember ABC's Wide World of Sports would occasionally show a bullfight from Spain. Being a kid, I never thought much about it.

Then in the 80's, my whole family went to Acapulco for a two week vacation. One day we decided to go to the arena and watch the bullfights. My sister and I lasted only 10 minutes into the first fight before we had to get out of that place and waited outside in shock till the rest of the family came out.

Having seen it in person, bullfights are nothing more than the barbaric, brutal, slow torturous slaughter of an animal. Those events should be banned world wide.

Probably not so much for the bull.
