I WAS pleased to read of the landmark vote to ban bullfighting in the Catalonia region of Spain (Echo, July 29). This is a big step in the right direction to stop this barbaric animal cruelty.
I also propose that holiday insurance companies make it plain to people planning to visit bullfights and bull runs – such as Daniel Earl, from Yarm, near Stockton, who was gored at a Pamplona Festival bull run in Spain (Echo, July 16) – that any medical bills arising from attendance or participation at these events are not covered.
