Animal rights activists have released a disturbing video of a young calf being stabbed to death in the ring during a fiesta in Spain.
The video shows the animal, aged between one and two years old, and apparently not yet weened from its mother, mooing in pain as it repeatedly stabbed with darts by participants.
It is finally killed in the ring in front of spectators as part of annual summer celebrations in the town of Valmojado in the Castilla-La Mancha region.
The video was released on Tuesday as part of the latest campaign by Pacma, the animal welfare party, which calls for Spain to put an end to bullfighting.
"I've never seen such cruelty inflicted on an animal in the name of fun," said Silvia Barquero, the president of Pacma.
A demonstration has been called for September 10th which is expected to draw tens of thousands of particpants in what is "set to be the largest anti-bullfighting march ever held in Spain".
