Abuse Charges at Running of the Bulls

Spanish police arrested six people this week on animal cruelty charges after video of men taunting and beating two bulls inside a bullring was uploaded to YouTube. The bull had previously been run through the streets of the town as part of an annual civic fair. Prosecutors said they had received hundreds of complaints since the video was posted; the mayor of the town promised he would cancel all bull-running events in the future.
