PACMA denounces the mistreatment perpetrated against a heifer in San Fermin. The formation has published this Monday a video in which a crowd with the Pamplonica suit besieges the animal in a bullring to the sound of beautiful bye. The heifer, visibly frightened, tries to charge and run between hundreds of men who play push, jump and pull her, while a crowd sings the famous song of resistance against oppression.
From the animalist party they affirm that the San Fermín festivities are “an exponent of legalized animal abuse” and that they concentrate “drunk tourism”. In addition, they also ensure that public institutions “prioritize income and economic injection before their own security and citizen education.”

However, the controversy surrounding the capitalization of bullfights and other forms of entertainment at the expense of animals grows every year.
