To do this have been posted all the bullfights held including the ETP, disaggregated by municipalities, which have been communicated to the official College of veterinarians in the last 8 years (2004-2011). For the socio-economic study, we have divided the ETP into two types; running bulls previous to the bullfighting and running or release of cattle without bullfighting. Survey to 150 attendees in the first type of ETP in Calasparra and Blanca and 200 attendees in the second type of ETP in Caravaca de la Cruz, Moratalla, Cehegín were realized.
