About the Network
The International Anti-Bullfighting Network is a partnership of over 100 non-profit organisations committed to the abolition of bullfighting. Together we fight for a bullfighting free world.

We are active in 15 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.
