Cockfighting and other animal sports remain legal

A veto that permitted bullfighting in Sinaloa was thrown out on Tuesday in a unanimous vote in the state Congress.

Reforms to the state’s animal rights bill were first passed in January 2021, which outlawed bullfighting and defined the spectacle as an act of animal cruelty. However, in April former governor Quirino Ordaz Coppel vetoed the part of the bill that banned bullfighting.

Ordaz finished his term on October 31 and now his amendments have now been repealed, meaning those found guilty of animal cruelty — including bullfighting — could face six years in prison or fines.

The bill’s approval will also see new animal welfare centers created in the state.
