Thousands in Madrid demand end to bullfighting in Spain

Thousands of animal rights activists protested Saturday in Madrid to demand an end to Spain's long tradition of bullfighting.


The march went through the Spanish capital's city center, with several groups united under one clear-cut message: "Bullfighting is violence and you can stop it."

Animal rights activists say the gory fights are among the planet's most blatant forms of animal cruelty, with bulls lanced and finally stabbed through the heart. Matadors are praised for killing with a single stab, though some don't succeed in finishing off the animal with repeated thrusts.
