Mexico City has proposed a ban on bullfights where animals are killed or mistreated, a measure that seeks to transform this controversial spectacle in one of the metropolises with the greatest bullfighting tradition in Latin America. 

Bullfighting has deep historical roots in Mexico City, with the Plaza de Toros México standing as the world's largest bullring, seating over 41,000 spectators. The city has long been a hub for this tradition, attracting both fervent supporters and passionate critics. In recent years, the practice has faced significant challenges. In 2022, Mexico City imposed an indefinite ban on bullfighting, citing concerns over animal welfare.
