Zła tradycja. Delegalizacja corridy de toros w Katalonii
Bad tradition. Bullfight's prohibition in Catalonia

Summary/Abstract: This article presents the process of banning bullfighting in Catalonia, which led ultimately to cease its organization in 2012. Discussion about bullfighting in Catalonia is an equally political, social and ethical issue. Outlawing the bullfights is a demonstration of province autonomy against the central government, but is also a manifestation of changes in the social sensitivity towards animals. Decision of the Parliament of Catalonia also activated its local supporters of bullfighting who began a legislative battle which aims to restore bullfights spectacles on Barcelona’s arenas.
