Palace Tours stops selling tickets to Spain’s San Fermín festival, following PETA’s exposure of bull torment during the event, leading a push for global disengagement from the practice. HALLANDALE BEACH, FLA. – After learning from PETA that dozens of bulls are tormented, stabbed, and slaughtered in front of jeering crowds during the Running of the Bulls at Spain’s annual festival of San Fermín and hearing from more than 60,000 of the group’s supporters, luxury travel company Palace Tours stopped selling tickets for itineraries that include the cruel and violent spectacle. “Palace Tours did the right thing by dropping ticket sales connected to this bloodbath for bulls,” says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. The bull may be paralyzed but still conscious as his ears or tail are cut off and presented to the matador as a trophy and his body is dragged from the arena. PETA – whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to use for entertainment” – points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness.
