Toro de la Vega bull killing fiesta protestor fined €5,200

ADRIAN Sánchez, the youngster who tried to stop this year’s controversial annual bull hunt in Tordesillas, Valladolid, has been fined €5,200 on the afternoon of December 2 by the Government Sub-delegation in Valladolid.

Sánchez who comes from Murcia, had tried to stop the event by fixing a bicycle lock to his neck to a road sign.  Fireman apparently took around half an hour to release him.  The event involved the lancing to death of a bull.

Today´s ruling which speaks of a risk of security for the participants can be appealed.
