Medinaceli, España. Medinaceli, a small corner of Soria, once again finds itself at the center of a dark spectacle that ignites outrage and international condemnation. In this peaceful village of 721 inhabitants, the Toro Jubilo stands as a testament to human cruelty, a stark reminder that, in the 21st century, barbarity can still find its place in society.
Madrid, España. AnimaNaturalis and CAS International have launched a pioneering investigation in Spain that reveals an estimate of the expenses incurred in 2019 by the 1,820 municipalities that organize and finance this type of festival. 22% of Spanish municipalities hold some type of popular bull festival each year, with the majority concentrated in the Valencian Community, Castilla y León, and Castilla-La Mancha.

The municipality and the media celebrate the development of the show "without incidents".
Nules, España. AnimaNaturalis accuses the organizers of trying to mask a children's running of the bulls as a displays of pastoralism in Nules, where the participation of minors was previously encouraged from social media.
