BLOODY BULLFIGHT BUSTED IN LOS ANGELES
Humane Officer Finds Bulls Being Stabbed with Sharpened Nails

A Humane Officer with Animal Cruelty Investigations (ACI), interrupted
a bull fight
Saturday night at the Festa da Bola in Artesia, CA when he discovered
the bull fighters
were using long wooden sticks with several inch sharpened nails on the
end to stab,
torment and infuriate the bulls. The Humane Officer noticed the bulls
were being stabbed
when he saw blood and puncture wounds on the bull when the animal was
being returned
to the trailer from the ring. The bull had been repeatedly stabbed
with up to 8 sticks. The
Humane Officer went into center ring, held up his badge and put an end
to the fight. Over
30 sticks with nails on the end were confiscated and the company
operating the bull fight
was informed that stabbing a bull is a violation of California's state
animal cruelty laws.
Jane Garrison, spokesperson for Animal Cruelty Investigations, stated,
" Animal Cruelty
Investigations is an organization that enforces animal cruelty laws
and stabbing a bull
with sharpened nails is certainly a violation of the law. No animal
should ever be made to
suffer for so called entertainment. We hope the DA prosecutes this
case to the fullest
extent of the law and the City of Artesia makes this bull fight its last."
