The photo of Estrella Damm's banner was supplied to ICABS by journalist/author/film-maker Don Mullan who witnessed bullfighting at the "Monumental" venue last month and subsequently outlined the horror of the activity.

Writing in the Irish Times, Mr Mullan condemned bullfighters as "cowardly butchers" and graphically described an injured bull convulsing, a bull bleeding from its mouth and nose with "its tormented cries clearly audible" and a bull with its front covered in "liquid crimson".

ACTION ALERT

Please contact Estrella Damm now with the message "Estrella Damm - Please remove your banner from Barcelona's bloody bullring and fully disassociate from bullfighting".
