Two activists from animal rights group Peta have interrupted Pope Francis’ general audience at the Vatican, shouting and holding up banners against bullfighting before being escorted out of the Paul VI Hall.

The two were wearing t-shirts reading: “Stop blessing corridas” and holding banners saying: “Bullfighting is a sin.”
