Anti-bullfighting association CRAC (comit茅 radical anti-corrida) has the Marseille administrative court of appeal.

Bullfighting schools that teach minors - such as those in Arles, N卯mes and B茅ziers - could be among those affected should the law change.

The CRAC first called for a ban on these schools in 2016, issuing a statement saying: 鈥淏ullfighting in France continues to constitute a sort of island of legal barbarism."

It is especially opposed to schools that offer bullfighting classes to young people aged 7 to 20. It said the activity was 鈥渄angerous, and exposes [young people] to animal mistreatment.鈥�

Yet, critics have accused CRAC of 鈥渉iding behind the issue of 鈥榶oung people鈥欌�� to hide its 鈥渞eal aim of banning bullfighting altogether鈥�.

Despite agreeing with CRAC that bullfighting was barbaric, prosecutor Michel Revert to reject the group鈥檚 specific demand, saying that their case file 鈥渟everely lacked鈥� any evidence against bullfighting schools specifically.

He said: 鈥淯nder the cover of protecting minors, the case by CRAC Europe is actually aimed at bullfighting [in general].鈥�

Katia Fischer, the lawyer for the B茅ziers bullfighting school, agreed. She added: 鈥淪wimming is a more dangerous sport [for young people] than bullfighting.鈥�

Yet, another lawyer involved in the case, Me Courage, reminded the court of the dangers of bullfighting, saying: 鈥淒o not wait for a serious accident! [These are] 14-year-old children in front of 300-kilo minimum animals, who are in a state of stress.鈥�

The court is due to make a decision soon but an exact date for the ruling has not been released.
