Bullfight ban

A groundbreaking law to ban bullfighting was voted in by the Catalán regional government on Wednesday.

The ban will not come into force until January1, 2012, but it is the first of its kind in Spain.

Animal-lovers are now calling for other regions to follow suit.

	propietaria Gracias a Dios Espana empieza a civilizarse. Como es posible que gentes normaales puedan disfrutar con el tormento de inocentes animales. Una desgracia. Barcelona, gracias!

	Motivos No me importan los motivos por la prohibición. Lo que cuenta es que a partir de 2012 nunca más habra toros torturados por la curiosidad morbida de turistas (tontos y estúpidos) y placer enfermiza del público catalan.

	what next? I'm sure all the tree huggers will be delighted at this but rest assured if they get away with this and get a country wide ban they won't stop. What next fishing, after all fish have feelings too. How about hunting? Horse riding must be unkind. The list just grows. This wasn't about the bulls it's all about politics. Wake up and smell the coffee.

	bull fighting ban For expats to start demanding Spain change their customs to suit us is the same as Muslims demanding all Muslim schools and "Super Mosques". Don't like Spain? Go home.
