Kate del Castillo He has become the most representative face of the fight for the prohibition of bullfighting in Mexico. Since last January, the First District Court In administrative matters, there is a class action lawsuit that has resulted in the indefinite ban on bullfights in the Plaza Mexico. Non-profit organizations such as PETA Latino and the actress herself have closely followed the process, whose ruling could be given before the end of the year.
A few weeks after sharing a video on Instagram where she attacks bullfighting, the protagonist of The Queen of the South appears in a brutal and crude video that has divided opinions on social networks.
Within the framework of the World Anti-Bullfighting Day, Del Castillo put himself in the shoes of the bulls to narrate what their last moments are like when entering a bullring. The audiovisual, which must be seen after warning from Instagram, has touched sensitive chords.
“Bullfighting is not culture, it is torture. “I hope he’s still alive when bullfighting is over, so we can celebrate.”, wrote the actress in the publication of the joint video with PETA Latino. The audiovisual had an immediate impact on the social network. Less than a day after its premiere, it registered hundreds of thousands of views and reactions, and made the debate around bullfighting still valid.
- “A big round of applause for this brave and admirable woman; let it be heard throughout the world… NO MORE BULLFIGHTING!!”
- “I don’t understand why this type of thing continues to exist, it is very sad to see everything they do with animals”
- “This video made me cry and see the cruelty we are as human beings against these defenseless animals”
- “Dear @katedelcastillo, I’m already lost! At what point have you studied this? Are you an environmentalist? Study, are you an animal lover? Study, are you against bulls? Finish them. In addition to expressing your bad temper to somehow continue being someone, with everything and everything, I invite you to the brave ranch so that you can see what it means to take care of this planet. I don’t see you angry about the murder of other species. You are pure Show!”
Kate del Castillo is not afraid of being at the center of controversy. After overcoming the political persecution of the administration of former President Enrique Peña Nieto, following her meeting with Joaquín ‘Chapo’ Guzmán, the attacks he receives on social networks for opposing bullfighting are a trifle.
In January, after bullfighting was reactivated in Mexico City, he shared an emotional video in which he attacked this ‘culture’: “Bullfighting is a stain in Mexico, for the reputation of the country where I was born, where I grew up, and once they are over I am sure that we all have one more way to celebrate and that all of this will go down in history.” ”he expressed.
Last May, weeks after the anniversary of Plaza México, Minerva Herlinda Mendoza Cruz, first District Judge in Administrative Matters, suspended bullfighting in Mexico City “in order to safeguard the fundamental rights, life and integrity of the Bulls”. The ruling added a new chapter in the fight to permanently ban this activity in the country’s capital and the rest of the country.
