A big thank you to discount accommodation company AlphaRooms.com for removing references to bullfighting from its website.
Following an ICABS appeal, in which we highlighted the cruelty involved, the award-winning holiday company deleted suggestions to visit a bullring in Fuengirola and “bullfight celebrations” in Ronda.
Thumbs up to AlphaRooms.com for its compassionate response.
