The second largest city in Venezuela, Maracaibo, has just announced that bullfighting is no longer permitted within its boundaries, thanks to newly appointed mayor, Willy Casanova.
Mayor Casanova says, "We believe that this is no longer allowed to happen in a state where the most basic values are defended…we will change the status of the bullring so it is a place for everybody, meant for recreative activities."
We thank Mayor Casanova for taking this stance against such horrid cruelty. Making animals suffer for our entertainment is inexcusable and unforgivable. Casanova is setting an example that the rest of the world should follow.
