Catalonia frees herself from Spanish bull-fighting

"Now yes", abolition is a fact

On July 28th, 2010 the Catalan Parliament outlawed Spanish tradition of bullfighting until death.
The result of 68 in favour, 55 against the prohibition, 9 abstentions. A popular petition collected 180.000 signatures to outlaw bullfighting on the grounds that it was cruelty to animals.
Many people hates this Spanish tradition for its cruelty against the animals. Only 5 states in the world (Spain and France) maitains it. “We don't have to ban everything, but the most degrading things should be banned," said Josep Rull (CIU). Many other people in Catalonia opposes bullfighting because it is a Spanish national feast and Catalan nation is absolutely different from the Spanish one. Catalans prefer football as British people.
Spaniard press sees the outlaw as a new sign that Catalonia is far from Spain. And eveytime more and more.
Spanish unionists tried in vain to oppose the resolution arguing for the Spanish unity. In Catalonia only one place in Barcelona had fights. Just 16 fights (in Madrid, for instance, there were 350) were held on 2009, and the stadium was less than half full. Many of them were tourists who think they were in Spain. From 2012 this mistake will not be possible.
