Mexico City lawmakers voted decisively to ban violent bullfighting, prohibiting the killing of bulls and the use of weapons. The ban aims to lessen animal cruelty and sparked protests from bullfighting supporters. Activists celebrated, stating this was a vital move towards animal protection. Mayor Clara Brugada emphasized the city's commitment to respecting animal rights. The decision reflects a conflict between tradition and evolving views on animal welfare, as bullfighting has historically been a popular entertainment despite its cruel practices.
Bullfighting has long been considered a tradition and a pastime in Latin American nations, but has come under criticism for animal cruelty because bulls are often killed at the end of the fight.
We prefer this because, without a doubt, it's a huge step in protecting animals. It was either this or nothing, said Sofia Morin, an animal rights activist.
