Anti-bullfighting city

An anti-bullfighting city (Spanish: ciudad antitaurina, Catalan: ciutat antitaurina) is a city that formally adheres to a declaration of ethics and adopts municipal policies that do not support the practice of bullfighting within their borders and state that they are against the practice of bullfighting altogether.

The concept of an anti-bullfighting city is not forbidding the practice of bullfighting. For the same declaration to be adopted by local municipalities, associations and organisations that protect animals pursue their influence and pressure near the respective mayors in the sense that they declare their counties as an anti-bullfighting.

The manner of implementation of the campaigns is not necessarily equal in all countries. Each local organisation decides on the strategy that they prefer to use, always taking the different political aspects into account. One of the strategies adopted by some campaign organisations is also raising awareness among tourists who visit cities with bullfighting traditions, to exert economic pressure as a factor dissuator and penalises of bullfighting.
