Mexico City bans violent bullfighting, sparking fury and celebration

Mexico City lawmakers have voted to ban violent bullfighting in the capital. The decision Tuesday spurred fury among bullfighters in the city and celebrations among animal rights advocates. The vote banned killing of bulls and the use of sharp objects that could injure the animals. It also sets time limits on how long bulls could be in the ring, all part of an initiative dubbed “bullfighting without violence.” It was approved by a 61-1 vote.
