They present a bill to ban bullfighting in Colombia

MADRID, 31 Jul. (EUROPA PRESS) -

A total of 40 congressmen from different Colombian parties have presented a legislative initiative with which it is intended to sanction activities that involve cruelty against animals, which would mean the prohibition of bullfighting.

The promoters of the bill have highlighted that there are great possibilities that it will be approved. "It is accompanied by the signature of more than 40 congressmen, including Ariel Ávila, Katherine Miranda Humberto de la Calle and David Luna, some very important signatures that bring great legitimacy to this bill," explained congressman Juan Carlos Losada, quoted by Caracol Radio station.

"We believe that, on this occasion, with a congress that has proven to be much closer to the causes and rights of animals, and that, accompanied by a government that has made the proposal to be the most animal-friendly government in history It is a very important position to be able to put an end once and for all to torture disguised as culture in the bullrings of Colombia," he added.

It is not the first time that similar proposals have been made to ban bullfighting, so far without success despite the support of organizations such as Colombia without Bullfighting.

In the previous legislature, the proposal reached the third debate, but was finally not voted on in the Senate due to lack of time in the legislative calendar.
