Catalonia's parliament Wednesday voted to ban bullfighting from January 1, 2012 becoming the first region in mainland Spain to act against the centuries-old tradition, local media reported. The ban was approved with 68 votes in favor and 55 against. The vote came after animal rights activists campaigning under the platform "Prou!", or "Enough!" in the Catalan language, collected 180,000 signatures on a petition calling for the assembly to enact the ban. |
