STORYLINE:
On Monday Colombian president Gustavo Petro signed a law banning bullfighting throughout the country, marking a change in the use of the venues for cultural and sporting activities.
‘It may be an ancestral tradition, but it cannot - much less justify - tell the world that it is culture to kill sentient beings for fun,’ Petro said from a platform in front of anti-bullfighting activists who gathered in the iconic square.
Colombia was one of five Latin American countries to allow bullfighting along with Venezuela, Peru and Mexico and Ecuador.
The ban has been a political banner of Petro's since he became mayor of Bogotá in 2012.
The law changes a tradition that dates back to Spanish colonial times in Colombia.
However, bullfighting enthusiasts have warned that they will sue before the Constitutional Court in an attempt to prove that the process in Congress was flawed.
With the enactment of the law, which was approved by Congress in May, a three-year transition period begins in which bullfighting activities will be allowed, but under conditions to be defined by the government with the ‘highest standards of animal welfare and protection’, according to the new law.
