A YOUNG woman is grabbing the bull by the horns in an outrageous attempt to stamp out The Running of the Bulls in Spain.

Sophie Pritchard decided she could no longer turn the other cheek and ignore the traditional bull run and bull fights and is joining an annual Running of the Nudes protest.

She will be stripping off to join hundreds of other protestors, most of them naked.

Ms Pritchard, 28, from Petts Wood, said: “I have always thought it was barbaric. They put Vaseline in the bulls’ eyes, drug them and cut their muscles so when they are sent for the bull fight they are really weak.

“It is purely a tourist attraction so we are trying to prove that tourists will also be attracted to non-barbaric events.”

The Running of the Nudes takes place in Pamplona next Tuesday and the bulls will run the following day.
