Alaska Poses Nude For Anti-bullfighting Campaign

Spanish singer ALASKA has launched a campaign against bullfighting with a provocative new poster - in which she poses nude with three swords stuck in her back.

The campaign, titled The Naked Truth: Bullfighting is Cruel, is for Spain's animal rights association AnimaNaturalis and Britain's People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

Campaigners at the two organisations have planned several protests against the traditional sport, which concludes once the bull is stabbed to death.

Along with filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, Alaska is one of the top figures of the Movida, a socio-cultural movement that emerged in Spain in 1975 following the end of the Francisco Franco's dictatorship.

Alaska says, "We need to stick some little banderillas (swords used in bullfighting) in the backs of those who think that the bull does not suffer."
