Three men have died in 24 hours from wounds suffered during bull-running festivals in eastern Spain.

They had all taken part in the Valencia region's traditional bous al carrer (bull-running), when bulls charge through towns, often with people running ahead of them.

Animal rights groups have long complained of the dangers for the public as well as the animals.

They say 20 people have died in the region in the past eight years.
