A huge win for animal rights. It’s not perfect, but we shouldn’t let the absence of perfection get in the way of celebrating progress.

edit: Edited the title to clarify this is only for Mexico City, not all of Mexico.

    In Mexico City, not all of Mexico. And:

    The measure, among other things, will not allow bullfighters to use spades and swords to attack the animal, which in turn will have its horns covered to prevent injuries to humans.

    It does not end bullfighting.

      Yes, that’s why I said it wasn’t perfect. But it’s an improvement. I didn’t notice it was only for Mexico City, so thanks for catching that!

      So they can use, like, an axe or something? I feel like the bull got the worst end of this deal
