No, it wasn't a resurgence of hookers, but PETA's "bloody," "dying" babes were out to solicit New York City tourists—for compassion for the bulls who will be taunted and tormented by drunk morons during the upcoming Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. After the bulls are sent stampeding in terror through the streets of Pamplona, they will be dragged into the bullring to be mutilated and killed for the "entertainment" of cheering crowds.

Similar demonstrations have been held in Paris, London, and other cities around the world. You can check out some NSFW action shots from similar demos here.
Pamplona's "festivities" kick off July 7, which is just around the corner.

Does PETA still sponsor "The Running Of The Nudes" in Pamplona as a protest/alternative to watching the bulls run? I have not seen it advertised on this site this year.
Also this has nothing to do with bullfighting but I just thought I'd let someone out there know this week's sports illustrated has a full page close up photo of a greyhound strapped into a muzzle while being forced to run around a track...apparently this magazine still considers greyhound racing a sport.

Its a great demonstration idea. It gets the word out to people in New York.
Criticisms of the demo,
1)Its in New York. The running of the bulls is in Spain, not New York. I understand the thought process behind it, raise awareness, hopefully someone will write to a congress person and convince them to do think about it. Other than that, it will not stop the bulls.
2) I like that it is being done else where, global campaign great idea. Why not take the same action directly to Pamplona, Spain where the event actually takes place? Do the same thing in front of the gates where the bulls are released. Stop the event from happening or at least delay it. That would get world wide press coverage and bring the discussion to the headlines of the world for at least a day. The action depicted in this article reached, as far as I can tell, zero national coverage.
Think bigger and be braver. Else you will not change a thing. The point of demonstrations and actions like this are to get the attention of someone who doesn't think like you. If you are not getting national coverage and have no one out there as a intelligent spokes person for your cause, your probably will not be heard, and change nothing.

i think that this is a great way of getting the message across and making a bold statement. And who cares where it's taking place!? Weather New York or Spain, as long as it's happening, and peope are doing something about it- who cares!?!?

Hey there's a scumbag hunter who is planning to attack some kids at a school for supporting PETA, lets all try and stop him somehow. Maybe we can flood his website to stop his message of hate!? This his scumbag website:

Good job! I'd love to see this demo recreated in L.A.

AWESOME! Anything to prevent the bullfighting! It's sick. How could people want to see a bull getting killed like that? Well other animals too but yeah.
Viva la Peta :) <3

It makes me sick just to know how many people out there support this kind of entertainment. I understand this type of entertainment its a tradition, although traditions change through generations and its time for this to change.
Hope the message gets out there on time to change the future of those bulls that are going to die.

Few points:
1. I'm surprised that PETA doesn't get public indecency citations all the time for being nude in these locations.
2. Things like this are why PETA is not taken seriously anymore and why the media will cover the more ridiculous news such as "Flygate."
3. More people die running with the bulls than the bulls themselves. I agree it's stupid, but there's more than one side of the story.

Is Peta doing anything to stop Sarah Palin? She's still killing wolves with AK-47's from helicopters. I've adopted (Symbolically)2 wolves to help, but I'm only one person. Sarah Palin kills innocent animals all the time for sport. There's plenty of food in our stores, she doesn't have to eat a mooseburger. Poor moose!

To the previous question/comment; The reason they don't hold a similar demonstration in Pamplona is that they would gets their @$$#$ handed to them.
