Parliament takes first step towards bullfighting ban
The Balearic parliament today took the first step towards the banning of bullfighting by approving the modification to the 1992 animal protection law that the government has raised. This doesn't mean that there is a ban yet, just that the procedure can now move forward to ultimate approval. The ban would also include the "correbou" bull-run in Fornalutx.

Why not change the rules of the fight to eleminate any bloodshed by the animals or the human unless the person gets very unlucky. Solicit ideas on how to do this. It does not even have to be a fight per se. It could be something very entertaining.
Bullfighting has ALREADY been banned in many parts of Spain,quite rightly.
