EL ESPINA-(MaraviPost)-At least four people are reported to have died and dozens injured after an accident occurred at the venue of a bullfight in Colombia.

According to the Tolima Civil Defense, the spectators were watching the bullfight in El Espinal, Colombia, about 100 miles southwest of Bogota city on Sunday June 26,2022 when several stands collapsed.

Reports indicate that in addition to the four people who died, about 60 people were treated on-site for minor injuries, while another 10 were transferred to local hospitals.

It is unclear what caused the stands to collapse.

The ethics surrounding bullfighting, which involves killing the bull at the end of the contest, has come into question in recent years.

While the practice is customary in many Spanish-speaking countries, a judge in Mexico City extended a ban on bullfighting indefinitely earlier this month over complaints that bullfights violated resident’s rights to a healthy environment free from violence.

While four states in Mexico have already banned bullfighting, a ban in Mexico City could mark the end of nearly 500 years of bullfighting in the country and could threaten the practice internationally.
