NewzThe regional government of Andalusia has prohibited the use of live pigeons in an upcoming religious procession in Seville. The decision affects the Hermandad de la Virgen del Águila, patron saint of Alcalá de Guadaíra, which will no longer be permitted to use immobilized birds during the August 15 procession.
The ban follows a formal complaint filed by the animal rights party Pacma. According to the complaint, the animals had been subjected to being tied up and immobilized for hours during previous events, prompting regulatory intervention by the regional authorities.
