MALLORCA TODAY - Concerns over Fornalutx bull run protest

The animal rights group AnimaNaturalis intends to stage a protest today in the vilage of Fornalutx against the annual "correbou" (bull run) that takes place next month. There are concerns that there will be a repeat of the clashes that occurred last year when the same group staged a protest. The mayor has asked that local people do not go to the protest in order to try and avoid incidents.

Update: The protest passed off without incident. Confined to the sports area of the village to make their demonstration, the thirty or so members of AnimaNaturalis attracted little more than close police attention.
