Muro Leases Bullring: Why the Debate Needs to Get Louder

Answer

Why are animal welfare groups criticising the Muro bullring plan?

Animal welfare organisations object to the return of bullfighting because they see it as incompatible with modern standards of animal protection. Their criticism is part of a broader Mallorca debate about whether traditions should continue when they cause suffering. In Muro, that concern has intensified because the arena is again being put forward for bullfights.
