Mexico City lawmakers voted to ban violent bullfighting, sparking celebrations from animal rights advocates and outrage from enthusiasts. The legislation prohibits the killing of bulls and aims to reduce animal cruelty.

Mexico City lawmakers overwhelmingly approve legislation to keep the bullfighting tradition alive, while also keeping the bulls alive.

Mexico City’s local congress on Tuesday passed a measure aiming to make bullfights much less harmful to bulls and matadors, a move applauded by animal rights activists but sharply criticized by fans of the centuries-old tradition.
