Bull dies in agony at Spanish fiesta after flaming torches are strapped to its horns

A bull died a horrible death at a Spanish fiesta after organisers strapped burning torches to its horns in front of a baying crowd.

The terrified half-tonne animal became confused and ran head-first into a wooden post - dying instantly in the collision.

The animal died at the burning bull festival in the small town of Foios, 10 miles north of Valencia in eastern Spain.

Initially it was tied to the wooden post in the centre of a makeshift bullring, in front of a crowd of several hundred onlookers.
