NAKED PROTEST-Pamplona
|
Since 2002 the organization People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals (PETA) has staged a protest the d
ay before the San fermin festival in Pamplona, Spain.
In a mockery of the world famous spectacle of fighting
Bulls chasing crowds of runners, semi nude animal rights
activist are running through town following the same
route. Under the slogan "Join the Human Race" PETA is
trying to draw attention to the plight of the bulls,
who after the run are killed the same evening in the
Bullfighting arena. Reactions from the people of
Pamplona are mixed, from anger to amusement at
the spectacle. The Naked Run is becoming part of
the festival and thousands of spectators line the
route to cheer or heckle the demonstrators, depending
on their own opinions on the subject.
The following images are from 2004.
