Do you know what the ensogado bull consists of?
It is the popular form of bullfighting celebration consisting of the release in a locality of a bovine cattle with one or more ropes tied to its head to control its movements and attacks.
The rope bull is probably the most atavistic spectacle and also the most distressing for the animal, as it is the one that limits its movements the most and for the longest time.
Suffering is accentuated in this type of celebration due to the great physical fatigue that they accumulate, as they are taken to the limits of their aerobic capacity.

Washington – PETA has obtained never-before-seen photographs and video footage taken by U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors revealing deplorable conditions at facilities that operate out of public view and supply animals for use in the experimentation industry. The images show maggots crawling through animals’ food, green algae growing in water bowls, and animals left to suffer with open wounds.
At
Ruby Fur Farm in New Sharon, Iowa, ferrets, raccoons, foxes, and skunks were held in dilapidated cages with broken wires and forced to drink out of water containers teeming with algae and insects. Temperatures reached as high as 122 degrees, and raccoons were found to be “in serious heat distress,” panting while “lying on their sides, backs, and abdomens with their legs splayed.” Numerous animals were denied veterinary care, including a ferret covered with ticks and skunks with extensive hair loss.
