| Legal Framework of Bullfighting and Societal Context in Colombia | Angie Vega | Animal Legal & Historical Center | This essay provides an overview of the current situation and the legal framework regarding bullfighting in Colombia. The Spanish conquest of Latin America dramatically transformed cultural practices. Spanish heritage was brought with the colonization of the South American countries and with it the cultural practices of bullfighting that carries a strong element of tradition in the Hispanic culture. The evolution of laws and court decisions regarding bullfighting have been dramatically altered in recent years. Today, the position of the Colombian Constitutional Court is aimed at the abolishment of the practice. However, the Colombian Congress’ position regarding bullfighting is not as clear. Tradition has been one of the main arguments in the justification of bullfighting. However, it is important to understand that the current debate focuses on whether bullfighting should be regulated or abolished. | Article |

| Legal Impact for Chickens v. Case Farms, L.L.C. | --- S.E.2d ----, 2025 WL 1450006 (N.C. Ct. App. May 21, 2025) | This case examined whether Defendants' commercial poultry operations—including hatching, transporting, and slaughtering chickens—fell under exemptions in North Carolina's Protection of Animals Act (PAA). Plaintiff, an animal advocacy group, alleged Defendants subjected chickens to cruel treatment, such as starvation, crushing, overheating, and boiling alive, violating the PAA's prohibition on unjustifiable suffering. The appellate court affirmed dismissal, holding that the PAA's exemptions for "lawful activities conducted for the production of poultry" and "providing food for human or animal consumption" shielded Defendants' entire operation, not just isolated steps in the process. The court rejected Plaintiff's argument that each stage of production should be scrutinized individually, ruling instead that the statute's plain language protected lawful commercial farming as a whole. Because Plaintiff failed to allege Defendants' overarching business was unlawful, the court upheld the dismissal, thereby reinforcing agricultural exemptions in animal cruelty statutes and affirming the trial court's order. | Case | |
