Woman had 2,500 needles stuck into her back in anti-bullfighting protest

Colombian animal rights campaigner Fanny Pachon was so angered by the local traditional bullfighting festivals that she had 2,500 needles stuck in her back to protest against cruelty against bulls.
She said it was an "almost act of desperation.” An acupuncture specialist named David Hernandez carefully and painstakingly placed the needles in her back.
The protest took place outside the mayor's office in Cartagena. Pachon said she was frustrated with the lack of official response to repeated pleas to stop the bullfights.

"We're taking these measures that are a bit desperate because they (the Cartagena's mayor's office) are treating us like this,” she said. “They have been treating us badly from the beginning. They haven't fulfilled the promises they've made.”
