Historic judgement was passed earlier today to ban bullfighting in the Catalan region. The Bill will come into force on January 1st 2012 which marks a huge victory for the many anti bullfighting organisations that have spent years campaigning to end this bloody and outdated sport.
League Chief Executive Douglas Batchelor said “The League is thrilled that Catalonia has voted to ban bullfighting and hopes that this will influence other Spanish regions to follow suit. We look forward to working towards all remaining bullfighting regions putting ‘cruel sports firmly in the past as Catalonia has done”
