Mexico City's Congress has voted to ban violent bullfighting, prohibiting the killing or physical harm of bulls during events.
The decision has sparked celebration among animal rights activists, who see it as a victory against cruelty, while bullfighting enthusiasts argue it threatens a long-standing cultural tradition. The ban includes restrictions on stabbing bulls with sharp objects like swords or spears, effectively ending traditional bullfights in the city. Supporters of the ban emphasize the ethical concerns surrounding the sport, while opponents fear economic and cultural losses.
The move aligns Mexico City with other regions that have already restricted or banned bullfighting.
