Animal rights activists plan to demonstrate against bullfighting in Madrid on Sept. 21 and in Logrono on Sept. 22. The AnimaNaturalis and CAS International campaign groups will demand an end to the practice. Attendees will gather:
Madrid: Las Ventas bullring, at 17:00 Sept. 21
Logrono: Plaza del Mercado, at 12:00 Sept. 22.
