Quote uit krant "Sur in English":
Cataluña votes to ban bullfighting from 2012
The session in the Catalan Parliament on Wednesday was followed by press from all over the world.
Bullfighting will be banned in Cataluña from 2012. The decision was announced on Wednesday morning as some 300 reporters from Spain and abroad followed the voting session in the Catalan Parliament in Barcelona.
Some 66 members voted in favour of th prohibition while 55 voted against and 9 abstained. The results was greeted by cheers and applause from the group of animal rights activists who were in the chamber to witness the controversial vote. Opposite them, bullfighting enthusiasts, who claim they have been the victims of a political conflict, hung their heads in despair.
Cataluña is the second Spanish region to ban bullfighting after the Canaries made the move in 1991.
