BARCELONA, Spain – Lawmakers in Catalonia outlawed bullfighting Wednesday, making it Spain's first major region to ban the deadly, centuries-old ballet between matador and beast after heated debate that pitted animal rights against a pillar of traditional culture.

    • Wow, Catelonia bans bullfighting. Interesting that some see the ban "as a further bid by Catalonia to stand out from the rest of the country."

      Catalonia lawmakers insist that this isn't a political play, but about "the suffering of the animal. That is the question, nothing more."
