Although a council meeting motion to stop the use of a cockerel for Pollensa's Sant Antoni pine climb was rejected, there will be no cockerel next year. Mayor Miquel Àngel March, one of three councillors to vote in favour of the motion, says that the town hall will abide by 1992 animal protection legislation that prohibits the use of animals on fiesta occasions if they suffer or are subjected to unnatural treatment.
