Its name is "El Toro de la Vega".This cruel tradition is dated in the year 1355. Why is it cruel? Men riding horses pursue a bull for all the town and they pin pikes over the animal. The bull has no more chance to defend than the impact that ocasionally does, but the men are faster and more powerful than it, so they hurt it nearly to death. Finally, the animal is cornered, and weak and tired, is wildly killed. Then, a man chosen by the town has the "honor" to cut its testicles off. Many animal associations that defends the rights of animals protest every year against this awkward "feast" with the only result of shouts and insults from the citizens of Tordesillas who defends this tradition. Here you can see this cruel show, but if you have many sensibility, please, don't watch (it's a good advice) |
