A Kenyan form of bullfighting, in which two bulls are encouraged to fight each other, was prevented from taking place in the capital Nairobi this month by the joint efforts of a network of animal welfare groups.

The fights are not traditional in the Nairobi Province and are banned by Kenya’s animal welfare laws, but the organisers argued that bullfighting would encourage tourism and won the support of Kenya’s culture and tourism ministers.
