In Action

Madrid, España. The Ministry of Social Rights, Consumer Affairs, and the 2030 Agenda has officially announced the launch of the so-called 'Jane Goodall Law,' a groundbreaking global initiative aimed at recognizing basic rights for great apes—orangutans, chimpanzees, bonobos, and gorillas—protecting their dignity, right to life, freedom, and protection from torture.

Madrid, España. An analysis of data from the Ministry of Culture debunks the myth of bullfighting “popularity”: attendance has dropped 15% in a decade and only appears stable due to the artificial boost of the Youth Cultural Voucher, institutional promotion to new generations, and public subsidies.

Madrid, España. The motion to consider repealing Law 18/2013—which shields bullfighting as cultural heritage—was rejected with 169 votes against, 57 in favor, and 118 abstentions; the Socialist abstention proved decisive, sparking outrage from the initiative’s promoters who denounce betrayal and the PSOE’s loss of credibility.

Zaragoza, España. Three dozen activists gathered in front of the Basilica of El Pilar with large portraits of bulls and horses to denounce the violence of bullfighting and demand an end to public subsidies for bullfights.

Madrid, España. Next Tuesday, October 7th will be a date marked on the calendar for the animal rights movement in Spain. The Popular Legislative Initiative (ILP) "No Es Mi Cultura" finally reaches the Plenary Session of Congress, where its consideration will be debated and voted on. This decisive step could mean the beginning of the end for the legal protection safeguarding bullfighting in our country.

Madrid, España. The appearance of the Popular Legislative Initiative (PLI) "It Is Not My Culture" before the Culture Committee of the Spanish Congress of Deputies has marked a turning point in the long-running debate about the future of bullfighting in Spain. This is not a simple attempt at prohibition, but a strategic movement that challenges cultural centralization and raises fundamental questions about democracy, identity, and the role of animal cruelty in modern society.

Logroño, España. In the heart of Logroño, a space typically animated by the fervor of the San Mateo Festival, a scene of profound contrast and solemnity unfolded. As the city prepared for four days of bullfighting events, the central Plaza de San Agustín became the stage for a protest staged by AnimaNaturalis and CAS International.

Bogotá, Colombia. In a unanimous decision, Colombia's Constitutional Court declared that Law 2385 of 2024, also known as "No More Olé," which establishes the progressive prohibition of bullfights, is constitutional.

Bilbao, España. On the afternoons of August 21 and 22, 2025, AnimaNaturalis's investigation team deployed cameras inside Bilbao's Vista Alegre bullring to document the reality of the bullfighting events during the Aste Nagusia festival. The footage collected, frame by frame across nearly a hundred video clips, reconstructs a spectacle of mere cruelty and pure violence.
