Ban on bullfighting in Catalonia

Bullfighting was banned in the Spanish autonomous community of Catalonia by a vote of the Catalan Parliament in July 2010. The ban came into effect on 1 January 2012. The last bullfight in the region took place on 25 September 2011 at La Monumental.^[1] The ban was officially annulled for being unconstitutional by Spain's highest court on 5 October 2016.^[2] However, despite the overturning of the ban, no further bullfight had taken place in Catalonia as of July 2020.^[3]
