In 2016, an 18-year-old woman in Spain was gang-raped by five men during the running of the bulls festival in Pamplona, and was even filmed. This case sparked outrage in Western society - especially when the video showed her with her eyes closed and motionless during the attack, but the defendant's lawyer claimed that the two parties were "consensual sexual partners", and the trial judge also ruled that "there is not enough violence" or intimidation evidence," and determined that the actions of the five did not constitute a crime of sexual assault.
The verdict in this case sparked massive protests across the country and pushed the pace of political reforms to the law; six years after the case, the Spanish Congress passed a new law that stipulates that any sexual activity that occurs without explicit verbal or behavioral consent can be punished as a crime of sexual assault Prosecution, involving violence or coercion is no longer a necessary condition, and if the person is insane or lethargic due to the influence of drugs or alcohol, the requirement for explicit consent is naturally not met.

Since 1988, the dugong has been listed as a national first-class protected animal in China, but it has long faced the survival threat of habitat loss caused by human activities such as fishing.
