LIMA - In a matter of months, the novel coronavirus achieved something that animal rights activists failed to do in decades: Put a halt to bullfighting in Peru.

"There will be no bulls this year," Mr Rafael Puga, a retired bullfighter who also rears bulls, said.It's the first time since the festival began in 1946 that it's been cancelled. 'It's good news' "This doesn't just affect us artists but everyone that works around a bullfight," said bullfighter Fernando Villavicencio, 34.

"We ranchers now have to live off other businesses. Some have even sent their cattle to the slaughterhouse, that is to reduce their livestock to a minimum to cut costs," said Mr Puga, 72."It's good news. There's no reason for the bull festival to go ahead," Mr Luis Berrospi, an activist also campaigning against cockfighting, said.

But the Constitutional Court ruled that"there is no universal declaration of animal rights that has been adopted by either the UN or Unesco".
