Current debate on bullfighting in Mexico
Bullfighting has been a prominent cultural and artistic event for centuries. But in recent decades, it has been viewed with greater criticism for animal abuse.
On one hand, there are those who claim that in bullfights these animals are exposed to extreme stress situations. Added that they are injured with sharp objects and finally deprived of life.
They cause slow and progressive physical injuries, with the suffering and pain that this can represent for any sentient being.
On the other hand, there are those who agree that Bullfighting is a catalyst for the economic and social development of the regions where it is practiced.
From bullfighting, activities such as: livestock, commerce, industry, tourism, handicraft manufacturing, among others, are derived.
