More than 150 activists from various parts of Mexico they lay naked and flags in the vicinity of Fine Arts, representing the lives of bulls that die in each "big season" from Plaza Mexico.

Mexico is one of the eight countries that still suffer the legalization of bullfighting: State and municipal authorities diverted funds from the treasury to promote the opening of museums bullfighting and "schools" where they teach children in the torture and killing of animals. Besides that this activity is funded with public resources.

In Mexico, there could be a breakthrough, following the initiative by decree last December The deputy Cristian Vargas, to ban bullfighting in Mexico City. Organizations for the defense of animal rights solicit public consultation takes place, stating that the rejection of bullfighting produces most of the population.

The press reception was very good and passersby cheered and supported our initiative to give voice to the arena and emphasize that torture is not art or culture.
