In Tordesillas (Valladolid, Province of Castilla y León, Spain), every september, a bull is tortured and killed in a spectacle called the “Toro de la Vega”.
This year it takes place on the 14th of September.
A babarous mob armed with long medieval lances with a 33 cm blade, chase a bull across a field and thrust these terrible lances into every part of the animal’s body, who then dies a cruel and terrible death. They cut the testicles and the tail off -sometimes while the bull is still alive- they stick the tail on one lance and the testicles on another.
The one who delivers the death blow gets the tail as a trophy, he
sticks it on his lance and shows it off, walking from the place here
the bull is killed to the door of the townhall, where the authorities
wait for him to officially award him the tail. This is an act of brutality
and barbarism of primitive and cruel tribes, and this is what the
authorities, the participants and the spectacle prove it to be!
The spectacle is organized by the townhall of Tordesillas and the
government of the Castilla-León supports it by declaring it’s
legality.

Sr. Presidente de la Junta de Castilla y León
Asunto: Tordesillas, ciudad non grata
Sres.,
Protesto enérgicamente contra el espectáculo del ‘Toro de la Vega’, por cruel y sangriento. Una muchedumbre, armada con terribles lanzas medievales, persigue a un animal por el campo, acorralándolo y clavándole sus lanzas en cualquier parte del cuerpo, hasta matarlo.
Esto deja en entredicho, ante el mundo entero, la calidad moral del gobierno de la Junta de Castilla-León y del Ayuntamiento de Tordesillas al seguir apoyándolo.
SOLICITO la prohibición de este salvaje martirio y me uno a la propuesta de declarar a Tordesillas "Ciudad non grata" mientras persista en defender este acto de feroz barbarie.
La propuesta de declarar internacionalmente a Tordesillas "Ciudad non grata" ha sido realizada por la Asociación Nacional para la Protección y el Bienestar de los Animales (ANPBA), de España, las organizaciones alemanas “Initiative Anti-Corrida” (IAC) y “Animal 2000”, y la organización británica “Fight Against Animal Cruelty In Europe” (FAACE).

Re: Tordesillas, town non grata
Dear Sirs,
I protest very strongly against the spectacle of the “Toro de la Vega”, because it is cruel and bloody. The mob, armed with terrible medieval lances, chases an animal across a field, rounding it up and sticking their lances in every part of its body until it dies.
The whole world questions the morality of the government of Castilla-León and the townhall of Tordesillas for supporting this.
I demand the banning of this savage torturing and support the proposition to declare Tordesillas a “Town non grata”, while it insists on defending this savage barbarism.
The proposition to internationally declare Tordesillas as a “Town non grata” was made by Asociación Nacional para la Protección y el Bienestar de los Animales (ANPBA), from Spain, the German organizations “Initiative Anti-Corrida” (IAC) y “Animal 2000”, and the British organisation “Fight Against Animal Cruelty In Europe” (FAACE).
