Anonymous hackers have launched a new campaign against bullfighting. The operation, dubbed OpTorosSiTorerosNo (Spanish for “Bulls Yes, Bullfighters No”) will start on November 11.

The hackers want to put an end to the Spanish traditions in which bulls are slaughtered. They offer as examples the bull run in Pamplona, and the Toro de la Vega festival in Tordesillas in which a bull is chased down and killed.

“We have the duty to try to put an end to bullfighting,” the hackers noted.

The hacktivists haven’t announced their immediate plans, but they urge all those who want to join the campaign to access their IRC channel.

In September, Anonymous hackers defaced a website of Tordesillas in protest against the controversial festival.

Anonymous has published a video to announce OpTorosSiTorerosNo. It contains graphic images of bulls being slaughtered. Viewer discretion is advised!
