In Photos: Bullfighting Resumes In Mexico City Amidst Protests

In Mexico City on January 28, bullfights resumed despite protests outside a crowded arena. This happened because Mexico's highest court temporarily cancelled a local ruling that had stopped the events for over a year and a half. The ruling had supported animal rights defenders.
