About the Network
The International Anti-Bullfighting Network is a partnership of over 60 non-profit organisations committed to the abolition of bullfighting. Together we fight for a bullfighting free world. With bullfighting we refer to all cultural, traditional and other events in which bulls or cows are used and suffer.
We are active in 12 countries, with the majority of our members working in the 8 bullfighting countries, that still have traditional bullfighting: Spain, Portugal, France, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and Venezuela.
