In Photos: Protests Against Bullfighting In Spain

People are protesting against bullfighting in the San Fermin Festival that starts on July 6. It's a nine-day festival that can see as many as 1 million attendees. The highlight of the festival is the “encierro” event every morning in which thousands of people run to avoid six bulls charging through the city's streets to the bullring. The bulls are invariably killed in the fights later in the day.
