<p>Spain&#8217;s leading broadcaster said it will no longer show the country&#8217;s centuries-old tradition of bullfighting in order to protect children from viewing violence.</p>
<p>Spain&#8217;s state network, RTVE, lists its new ban on transmitting bullfighting programmes under a chapter called Violence With Animals in its latest stylebook and says it &#8220;will not broadcast bullfighting.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the reasons given by RTVE is that bullfights &#8220;generally coincide with hours protected or specially protected for young viewers.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Children can view violence exerted over animals with anxiety and we must therefore avoid it by all means,&#8221; the stylebook says.</p>
<p>Spain has seen a fierce debate over the blood-soaked pageant that has fascinated artists and writers such as Goya, Hemingway and Pablo Picasso.</p>
<p>In July, the influential north-eastern region of Catalonia became the second Spanish region to ban bullfighting, joining the Canary Islands, which outlawed the practice in 1991.</p>
<p>The broadcaster has not shown bullfighting in any of its programmes for months, citing low audience ratings and budget problems over expensive outdoor locations shooting.</p>
<p>Now RTVE has confirmed it is slicing all links with an activity that many Spaniards revere as an art form while others consider a cruel and archaic blood sport with no place in modern society.</p>
<p>Bulls have been a potent symbol in Spain since prehistoric times, when early human settlers painted images of them on ancient cave walls such as those at Altamira &#8211; more than 13,000 years old &#8211; in the north of the country.</p>
