Análisis de la limitación del ejercicio de los derechos a través de actos administrativos: Perspectiva desde las prácticas taurinas

Abstract

As it is known, bullfighting is an activity that has been developed in different populations of Colombia, because this being a heritage of Spanish culture, has been adopted as a tradition to the point of converting or being seen by a sector representative of the population as a kind of cultural activity. However, with the passing of generations, the adjective "cultural" has remained between said, since a large sector of the population that does not participate in said activity has emerged, but beyond that there are those who reject and act in against this type of activity with the argument that they are responsible for promoting animal abuse. Thus, throughout the article the content of the laws that in principle have the aim of protecting against animal abuse are exposed and questioned. Similarly, the positions that the Constitutional Court has had over the years are analyzed and it will be explained how this Corporation has sought to expand the field of protection against animal abuse, highlighting among others the change of position shown in the Sentence C-041 of 2017 in relation to its predecessor, Sentence C-666 of 2010, showing in the latter a much more conservative position with the aim of protecting the bullfighting activity, unlike the first one, which as mentioned, advocates in a greater proportion to the protection in favor of the animals that are part of this activity.
