In 2008 the name Comité Anti Stierenvechten was changed to CAS International because its original goal had been achieved: the majority of Dutch tourists do not visit bullfights and Dutch travel organisations do not promote bullfighting any more. The name change reflects the current scope of activities that have gradually changed to international campaigning[1][2][3] in close cooperation with anti-bullfighting organisations in Europe[4][5][6] and Latin America.[3][7]
It is the largest organisation exclusively dedicated to the abolition of bullfighting everywhere in the world,[8] and according to their website, they have 14,000 members. CAS International has its head office in the Netherlands, and has a branch office in Belgium.
