Mexico’s bullfighting culture — a fiery blend of tradition and modern ethical debates — is under the spotlight in CGTN America’s “Portraits of Latin America” series. Rancher Sergio Hernandez, whose family has bred bulls for generations, shares his passion for the centuries-old practice. 🌟
With roots stretching back 500 years, bullfighting remains a polarizing spectacle. Critics condemn animal cruelty, while supporters defend it as art and heritage. Over 250 ranches fuel the industry, creating 80,000 direct jobs and boosting local economies. 💼
Hernandez describes bullfighting as “more than sport — it’s a dance with history.” Yet legal battles and shifting public opinions threaten its future. Can this contested tradition adapt to the 21st century? 🤔 The debate rages on, blending cultural pride with calls for change. 🛑
