A bull has died this Monday in Dénia (Alicante) during the celebration of the third day of the municipal festivities. The incident occurred while one of the most traditional and at the same time controversial activities of the festivities in the capital of the Marina Alta region was taking place, the well-known Bous a la Mar.
Animal groups have been insisting for years that this event is an aberration and that it involves the mistreatment of bulls. However, the Bous a la Mar continues to follow one of the activities of the Festivities of the Santíssima Sang de Dénia that has the most following.

A boat with volunteers tries to ensure that the bulls that are thrown into the water do not die, but this measure today has not been enough, and one of the animals has drowned in the sea when it fell into the water after ramming people in the square.
The volunteers have taken the bull out with the boat and have tried to revive it, but it has not been possible. The deceased animal belonged to the El Cova livestock, and after the event the rest of the Bous a la Mar session today has been suspended.
