Spain Bans Dwarf Bullfighting

Spain's parliament has banned "comic" bullfighting events featuring dwarves dressed in costumes, in a decision that aligns with EU directives on discrimination against disabled people. Disability rights groups have applauded the move, but a few remaining performers have condemned it, saying that the respect they receive is impressive and that people are not being denigrated or laughed at. The tradition of dwarf bullfighting, which stretches back decades, has declined in popularity.
