A man stabs the bull during 'Toro de la Vega' festival, on September 13, 2011 in Tordesillas. The festival is one of the oldest in Spain with roots dating back to the fifteenth century. The bull has to be enticed across the river from the village to the plain 'Vega' before it can be killed to honour the 'Virgen de la Pena'. AFP PHOTO/Pedro ARMESTRE
Oscar Zamorano is lifted on the shoulders after killing the bull during the "Toro de la Vega" festival in Tordesillas, near Valladolid, September 13, 2011. A bull is lanced to death by hundreds of men riding horses or on foot during the annual festival that has been celebrated since 1453. The lancer who delivers the fatal blow to the bull is entitled to cut the testicles of the animal and parade them through the town. Animal rights activists have repeatedly asked for the festival to be banned due to the prolonged suffering of the bull. REUTERS/Joseba Etxaburu (SPAIN - Tags: SOCIETY ANIMALS)
