VOICED : Bogota prohíbe maltrato o muerte del toro en corridas

Bogotá has implemented measures to prevent animal cruelty in bullfights, including banning instruments that harm animals and limiting bullfights to three per year. While the city council cannot legally ban bullfighting, the decision aims to discourage the practice. The Corporación Taurina de Bogotá opposes the measures, citing constitutional issues. Bullfighting has a long history in Bogotá, with a temporary ban in 2012. The Colombian Constitutional Court ruled that only Congress can restrict bullfighting, recognizing it as a cultural tradition. Colombia is one of eight countries where bullfighting persists, with activities also in Medellín, Cali, and Manizales.
