The cruel practice of ‘encierros’ or ‘enclosings’ involves hooligans using vehicles, including tractors and trucks, to taunt the animals
HARROWING footage shows drunken low-life thugs taunting exhausted bulls in their huge off-road cars– before slowing killing the beasts with rocks, blades and guns.
The disgusting clip shows warped Spanish hooligans taking part in a controversial form of bullfighting called ‘encierros’ or ‘enclosings.’
Filmed in the Guadalajara, Spain, the video shows panting bulls being chased by cars while the jeering crowd beat them with sticks.
The scared animals ram the side of the automobiles - including 4x4 vehicles, tractors and trucks - as the bloodthirsty driver circle the bulls until they can no longer stand.
The cruel spectators hammer the beasts with rocks and spears before a man riding a horse stabs them with a huge blade.
One of the bulls is shown being shot in the head after enduring hours of senseless torture.
Speaking with The Mirror, president of the Party Against Animal Cruelty Silvia Barquero said the disgusting practice of ‘encierros’ is growing popular in provincial towns.
He said: “There are more than a hundred of these cruel car rallies in Guadalajara province alone.
“Yet those taking part are blatantly breaking the law.
“Many are drinking, but under Spanish law people are not allowed to take part in an encierro if they are under the affects of alcohol or drugs.
“The Civil Guard are normally present but don’t appear to enforce the law.”
The Civil Guard, who monitor such events, have reportedly confirmed there has been a rise in infringement at the rallies.
A Civil Guard spokesman said: “It may appear that we are not doing much but in fact we are noting anything that is wrong.
“These are infringements of the law, not crimes, so we don’t intervene.
“But they are reported to the Interior Ministry’s local representative who will act accordingly.”
