An activist stages a demonstration against bullfighting in front of the Parliament of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain, on Friday. A bill that seeks to ban bullfighting in Spain's Catalonia region cleared its first hurdle in the local legislature Friday. A citizen's lobby group, which argues that the centuries-old tradition of bullfighting amounts to cruelty to animals, collected 180,000 signatures in favor of a ban.
