BOGOTA, Colombia — Colombia’s congress voted Tuesday to ban bullfights in the South American nation, delivering a serious blow to a centuries-old tradition. The bill, expected to be signed by President Gustavo Petro, aims to outlaw bullfighting by the start of 2028. This move follows increasing global scrutiny on animal rights and marks a significant victory for activists like Terry Hurtado, who have long protested against the practice in Colombia. Bullfighting enthusiasts argue that the ban impinges on cultural freedoms and could impact cities hosting these events, including the popular annual bullfights in Manizales. The controversial tradition, still legal in some countries, has faced criticism for its perceived cruelty towards animals.
