Federal court once again suspends bullfights in Mexico City, as activists and supporters lock horns

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A federal court has once again granted a temporary injunction against bullfighting in Mexico City, as activists and supporters of the practice lock horns in court. Bullfighting had only just returned Sunday to the capital’s Plaza Mexico, which held the city’s first legal bullfight in almost two years. The ruling on Wednesday will apparently force the postponement of fights scheduled for Feb. 4-6; organizers have not yet announced what they will do. Animal rights groups have been gaining ground in Mexico in recent years while bullfighting followers have suffered several setbacks. In some Mexican states judicial measures now limit the activity.
