Bullfighting Is Illegal in Mexico. It's Time to Enforce the Law
Every year in Mexico, bulls are led into bullfighting arenas and deliberately and methodically stabbed to death. Their blood-soaked and mutilated bodies are dragged out on chains.
Despite growing public opposition and legal protections for animals, bullfights continue to be held in parts of Mexico. These events violate Article 4 of the Mexican Constitution, which guarantees the protection of animals against mistreatment, as well as Mexican Official Standard NOM-033 and the Federal Animal Health Law.
Using the form below, join PETA Latino to urge authorities to uphold the law and finally end bullfighting.
Tell SADER: Enforce Existing Animal Protection Laws
The Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) has a responsibility to ensure that federal animal protection laws are enforced. Yet bullfights continue while authorities fail to act.
Send a message urging SADER to uphold the Constitution, the NOM033 and Ley General de Sanidad Animal and protect bulls from needless suffering.
