Irish Activist Protests Bullfighting in London!![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ban Bullfighting With just days to go before PETA’s Running of the Nudes (www.runningofthenudes.com) PETA members including an Irish activist painted in the Irish flag colors staged a creative event outside the Spanish embassy in London today at 12 noon, wearing little more than body paint and a banner that read “The World Is Watching – Ban Bullfighting”.
