Good news is scarce these days, so when we find an example, it’s worth celebrating:
In a remarkable development, a Mexican judge in June extended indefinitely a ban on bullfighting in Plaza Mexico, which, with over 41,000 seats, is the largest bullfighting venue in the world.
The pressure to abolish bullfighting has been building for years. The earliest recorded bullfights in Catalonia took place in the 14th century, but the beautiful plaza in Barcelona has been idle for a decade. At least five Mexican states have already banned bullfighting, and others are sure to follow now that, after 500 years, the death knell for bullfighting has been sounded in Mexico City.
