Every year about 60,000 animals are killed during religious festivals in Spain. In one example, the the Andalusian government banned the throwing of a live turkey from a church tower. The practice continues every year after the villagers collectively pay a €2,000 fine. Proponents argue that the festivals should continue to have legal protection because they are an integral part of Spanish culture and are a big draw for international tourists. Opponents argue that the killing of animals should be banned since the ceremonies often involve the torturing of animals.
