Bullfight is banned in Barcelona

September 25 was the last bull fight in Barcelona, Spain. 20 thousand people gathered at the El monumental bullfighting arena in Barcelona for the last time to watch bull fighting before it is outlawed. El monumental is the largest bull ring in Spain and is nearly 100 years old. Bull fighting is being outlawed in the Catalonia part of Spain because animal rights activists gathered 180 thousand signatures saying that bull fighting is against animal rights and is just barbaric. There hasn’t been too much of an outcry because people know how brutal they treat the bulls. In Spain bullfighting is considered an artistic ritual adored by millions. So to some people it’s going to be hard to see it go away but the running of the bulls well still be an active event everyone can enjoy.
