Bullfights have resumed in Mexico City after the country’s highest court temporarily revoked a local ruling that sided with animal rights defenders and suspended the events for more than 18 months.

The resumption of bullfights in the Plaza Mexico, the largest bullfighting arena in the world, raised fans’ expectations in the face of a lengthy legal battle between enthusiasts and opponents, who argue the practice violates animal welfare and affects people’s rights to a healthy environment.
