As every year, animalist associations have held their traditional anti-bullfighting performance in the Town Hall Square in Pamplona, giving the action a Catholic character, placing a bloody Jesus Christ in the middle of the square and around it several half-naked people, with their bodies stained with red paint and horns on their heads.

The proposed law to regulate the participation of children in bullfighting parties, promoted by the PNV and the PSE, was voted in favour by the PP; EH Bildu abstained, believing that the minimum age should be 12. The regulation to be adopted in plenary includes some new developments, such as the minimum age for cattle, and the elimination of the need for parental leave.

Whales, dolphins, seals, etc. From time to time some marine animal is trapped on our beaches. Sareus is responsible for managing these cases: coordinating responses, obtaining scientific information and performing necropsies if the animal has died.
