Urge the Mayor of Villa de Álvarez to Cancel Bullfights

Bullfighting is a violent spectacle built on fear, pain, and bloodshed. Bulls are deliberately tormented, stabbed, and weakened before being killed—all for sick entertainment. These intelligent, sensitive animals experience terror and extreme suffering from the moment they enter the ring.

Most people oppose bullfighting, and cities across Mexico are rejecting this cruelty. The mayor of Villa de Álvarez has the power to cancel these events. Please urge city officials to act and protect bulls from needless abuse.

Bullfights violate Article 4 of the Constitution, the General Law of Animal Health, and NOM 033; therefore, they are illegal. Additionally, more than 70% of Mexicans consider them an act of cruelty to animals and do not support them.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
