PACMA Files Complaint After Quad Kills Heifer During Valladolid Encierro

The group urges an inquiry into likely breaches of Castilla y León rules that forbid motor vehicles on encierro routes without prior authorization.

Overview

  • The incident occurred Friday during the rural encierro in Bolaños de Campos, Valladolid, and the animal died according to PACMA.
  • Video circulating on social media shows the quad driving head-on at the animal and running over it.
  • PACMA has lodged an official complaint seeking an exhaustive investigation and the assignment of responsibility.
  • The organization argues the episode reflects a lack of control, supervision, and safety by local authorities and calls for protective measures.
  • Regional decree 14/1999 prohibits motor vehicles on encierro routes unless authorized, and a similar 2018 case in the same town resulted in a Guardia Civil investigation.
