Protesters Bare All For Bull Run

Hundreds of campaigners took off their clothes to take part in a nearly-naked race through the streets of Pamplona to protest against the treatment of bulls.

The sixth annual Running Of The Nudes was organised by People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals, or PETA.

Participants wore red scarves and fake horns - and little else - as they ran through the northern Spanish city famous for the Running Of The Bulls, in which members of the public are chased through the streets by the animals.

Injuries are common, both to runners and to the bulls themselves, which end up in the bullring where they are then goaded by the crowd before being killed.

PETA staged the protest two days ahead of the Running Of The Bulls

About 1,000 people from 30 different countries took part in the Running Of The Nudes, a spokesman said.

Although it is billed as a nude protest, PETA supporters have begun to wear more clothes, so as not to upset some locals or attract too much unwanted attention.

Many of the women participants wore underwear and held round signs with the word bullfighting crossed out to cover their top half.

Noemi Ventura, 28, from Orleans, France, led the march.

She wore white underwear and was covered on top by a yellow Peta banner reading "The Naked Truth: Bullfighting is Cruel."
