Horror at Spanish festival where live animals are set on fire: Protesters clash with police in bid to stop cruel tradition
- The Joy of the Bull - or Toro de Jubilo - is one of the 'cultural' highlights of Medinaceli village, northeast of Madrid
- Every year a young bull is dragged into a ring before its body is covered with mud to protect it from burns
- Participants then strap wooden stakes doused in flammable chemicals to its horns, and set it on fire
- Fiercely hot sparks and embers drip from the burning torches onto the animal as men torment it to prove bravery
