In the midst of the controversy over animal abuse in bullfighting, PETA Latino urges Mexico to follow the example of other countries and prohibit this practice at the national level. Although some Mexican states have already banned bullfighting, the organization emphasizes the importance of extending this measure throughout the country.

According to PETA Latino, bulls are sentient beings that experience pain and fear, just like humans, and bullfighting subjects them to torment and death for entertainment. Mexican society is divided on this issue, with the majority of the population considering bullfighting to be animal abuse.

In this context, the President of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, has been praised by PETA Latino for her willingness to consider the prohibition of bullfighting in the country. Sheinbaum, who defines herself as an animal protector, has expressed her interest in reviewing these practices and seeking alternatives for those involved in bullfighting.

The animal rights organization highlights that in bullfighting, bulls are attacked with lances, banderillas, and swords, causing them extreme suffering. PETA invites the public to follow the president's example and avoid attending events that promote cruelty to animals.

In summary, PETA Latino calls for compassion and empathy towards bulls, emphasizing the need to end bullfighting in Mexico. The organization highlights that these animals are social beings that deserve respect and protection, and it is society's responsibility to ensure their well-being.
