Cowboys play berrantes, traditional blowing horn instruments, during a protest against the Supreme Court decision declaring unconstitutional the practice of “vaquejada”, a rodeo competition popular in Brazil’s northeast region, in Brasilia, Tuesday, October 25, 2016. The vaquejada involves two men on horseback, who herd a running bull, within a marked area, and knock it violently down to the ground. In many cases the bull is given electrical shocks to scare it into running. The sport is also deemed cruel to the horses who are left with scars from long spiked spurs used by the vaqueiros, or cowboys. (Photo by Eraldo Peres/AP Photo)
