Many people know about the Spanish bullfight, where bulls are killed.

But we don't talk much about another cruel Spanish pastime. Spain has their own breed of dogs for hunting and the belief that the more brutally you kill your dog, the more successful will be the hunt next year.

Every year between 50,000 and 100,000 dogs are burned, hanged, and other medieval cruelties.
