Mexico City, finally stop the bullfights

The federal judge has banned bullfights in Mexico City, meeting the approval of associations that fight for the respect of animal rights.

• In Mexico City, judge Jonathan Bass has extended the ban on bullfights indefinitely.
• The decision met with applause from animal rights organizations.
• Obviously, there are also those who protested because bullfighting is a decidedly profitable business.

TO Mexico City they had already tried.In May, for the first time, the judge Jonathan Bass had temporarily stopped the bullfights following complaints from residents of the area who believed that the shows with the bulls violated the right of animals to live in a healthy and violence-free environment.In recent days, the same judge has decided to extend the ban, effectively stopping it indefinitely the activities in Plaza Mexico, considered the largest arena in the world.

In Mexico City, bullfights are profitable

Since 2013, There are four Mexican states that have banned bullfighting, and already last year a reform of the law protecting animals was proposed to abolish this spectacle in the Mexican capital.The new sentence therefore confirms the direction in which the Central American country is heading.Clearly, aside from the applause from animal rights activists, there was some criticism of Judge Bass' decision.And they were criticisms strongly motivated by a state of affairs that has a lot to do with the local economy.

In Mexico, in fact, the bullfighting generates an induced of 6,900 million pesos, a good figure which to many seems fundamental to maintaining a positive revenue balance in a country that certainly does not shine for its economic resources.

In this regard, the company Tauro Plaza Mexico which manages the capital's bullring, invited people who sympathize with the practices inherent to bullfighting to send letters of protest to the government to rectify or abolish the decision.But, for the moment, Bass seems firm on his positions:no more bullfights with theirs bloody torture kit, suffering and death of innocent animals.
