Shocking photos of bullfighter ‘training’ has been revealed showing children torturing young bulls to death. Animal activists who have exposed the brutal practice were reduced to tears after seeing video of young teens spearing the terrified animal.
At the bullfighting academy in Madrid, bloodstained students as young as 14 repeatedly fail to make the killer blow as the calf reels in agony.
Footage of the practical lessons has been uncovered by the Animalist Party, known as PACMA in Spain.
Wendy Higgins, European communications director for Humane Society International, said: "This is a repulsive spectacle. Teaching young children to torture and kill animals for fun is a shocking low for the bullfighting industry."
The young animals slip and fall several times and appear frightened and uncoordinated before they subdue and kill the bull as the students group around it.
Mimi Bekhechi, director of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), said: "These bullfighting schools must be shut down because of cruelty and child abuse. For a child being forced to watch a bullfight can be traumatic enough, but encouraging children to participate in deliberately harming and killing an animal for ‘amusement’ sends all the wrong messages to developing young minds. It can lead them to become adults who are dangerously desensitised to violence and have been stripped of their natural empathy."
