Mexico City introduces ‘bloodless bullfighting’ in win for animal rights activists

Activists celebrate move, but note that a bull event without violence does not mean one without suffering'

Mexico City's congress has voted to ban traditional bullfights and replace them with a new form of bloodless spectacle, marking the latest episode in a years-long legal battle to outlaw the practice in the capital.

Animal rights activists celebrated the move on Tuesday - even if it wasn't the total ban on bullfighting they had been pushing for.
