  • Bullfighting has resumed in Mexico City after a two-year hiatus, following a Supreme Court ruling that overturned an indefinite suspension of the practice.
  • Animal rights activists protested the return of bullfighting, arguing that the practice is inhumane and violates animal welfare.
  • Six bulls were fought and killed in the first event since the suspension was lifted.
  • President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has proposed a referendum on the future of bullfighting in Mexico City.
  • Supporters of bullfighting argue that the ban affects their rights and threatens thousands of jobs linked to the activity, which they claim generates about $400 million a year in Mexico.
