In a landmark move applauded by animal welfare advocates, Mexico City has approved a reform banning physical violence and death in bullfights, making it the first major bullfighting hub in the country to do so. While traditional bullfighting involving the killing of bulls has long been a part of Mexican culture, this decision reflects a shifting tide in public opinion and a broader global movement toward more ethical treatment of animals.
The government passed the reform with a substantial majority, marking a significant step forward in acknowledging animal rights.
