A Spain without bullfighting?  That could be a very real possibility. The regional parliament of Catalonia will vote on Wednesday whether to ban the fights or not.

If this thing is approved Catalonia would be the first region in Spain to outlaw bullfighting and the rest of the country is none too pleased. The Spanish love their bullfights and don’t want to see the “fights” taken away from them.

But there’s a big animal rights movement that is trying to get the brutal sport outlawed… and that movement is growing. Animal rights activists show up at bullfights and protest. They got over 180,000 people to sign a petition to ban bullfighting.

Spanish TV stations have started to drop bullfighting from the schedule because it’s too horrible for young children to see.

Let’s all just keep our finger’s crossed for Wednesday.
