Logroño, España. Each year, the San Mateo festivities in Logroño bring an ethical conflict between the celebration of life and the unnecessary death of animals in bullrings. AnimaNaturalis and CAS International call for the abolition of bullfights and the promotion of cruelty-free festivities.
Medinaceli, España. In a landmark decision in the fight against animal cruelty in Spain, the Administrative Litigation Court No. 1 of Soria has declared illegal the municipal ordinance that allowed the celebration of the Toro Jubilo in Medinaceli, Soria. This ordinance, dating back to 1999 and modified in 2000 and 2015, has been annulled following a lawsuit filed by the Animalist Party with the Environment (PACMA) in November 2023, in a process that could spell the end of one of the last "embolado" bull events in Castilla y León.
Falces, España. The small town of Falces in Navarra has once again been the stage for a controversial tradition that sparks outrage among animal rights advocates. AnimaNaturalis and CAS International have released their latest report, exposing the cruelty inflicted on the calves and the alarming involvement of young people and teenagers in these events.
Bilbao, España. During the Aste Nagusia festivities, the Plaza de Toros de Vista Alegre in Bilbao becomes the stage for a spectacle as archaic as it is cruel: bullfighting. However, what the public doesn't see—what happens after the applause fades and the stands empty—is the true face of bullfighting.
Barcelona, España. The AnimaNaturalis International Foundation is proud to present its 2023 Annual Report, a document that highlights the efforts, progress, and successes achieved during a year of tireless work in favor of animal rights.

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, España. The lack of transparency regarding the status of the necessary permits for the installation of the first industrial octopus farm in Las Palmas has meant that we must file a contentious-administrative appeal before the Court of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Morella, España. AnimaNaturalis and CAS International documented this weekend a contest where the horns of several bulls were lit with fire, in Morella (Castellón, Spain). Two bulls suffered accidents that, despite the censorship and aggression that the public tried, could be recorded.
Pamplona, España. Oloroso, Hípico, Sonámbulo, Rascatripas, Fundidor, Ofuscado, Legionario and Ibicenco. These are the names of the steers that were tortured and killed on the first date of Pamplona's Feria del Toro, which inaugurates the bullfights that will be held during San Fermín.
Ciudad de México, México. In this 2023 we have a double celebration, in March it marks 20 years since our organization was established in Barcelona, Spain, by Leonora Esquivel and Francisco Vázquez Neira, and in May we celebrate 15 years of having a presence in México.
Medinaceli, España. Last Tuesday we filed a complaint with the Territorial Delegation of the Government of Castilla y León in Soria for violations of the Regulation.

Teruel, España. AnimaNaturalis and CAS International have documented the traditional roped bulls of Teruel, one of the most prominent acts of animal abuse on its festival program.
Tlalpan, México. The Black Jaguar White Tiger Foundation pretended to be a “sanctuary” for tigers, lions, jaguars and cougars, but it has been exposed as a space for suffering, abuse and death to these animals.
