At the carnival in Toulouse there will finally be cowboys
In December, following the increase in cases in France, the Government and the Government of Navarre decided to restrict the mobility of cattle and to prohibit cow exhibitions, tests of oxen and sokamuturra.
The countdown to the Carnival in Toulouse has begun, and the City Council has presented its holiday program on Monday with a last-minute novelty. Despite the doubts, it seems thatin the end there will be cowboys in the bullring, as well as sokamuturra.
Until the end ofFebruary, the ban on holding livestock fairs and events in Hego Euskal Herria is in force in order to combat the disease of nodular dermatosis. In Gipuzkoa, however, vaccination is very advanced, and in recent weeks cases have also decreased in France.
In this context, the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa has provisionally authorized the holding of events with cowboys and sokamuturras during the carnival in Toulouse, and this Thursday will be on sale tickets to see cowboys, while in Azpeitia this permit is pending.
When the measure came into force in December, the Basque Government had already declared that the Member States\u00A0could exceptionally authorise certain animal events.
The Toulouse City Council asked the Council for permission, since the regulations confer on each Member of Parliament the power to do so. During this period, in France, the disease has decreased, vaccination in Gipuzkoa is progressing and, finally, on Friday afternoon, it was received verbally.
However, the ban on fairs and events with animals is in force until the end of February. In Abadiño, for example, tomorrow, 3 February, the traditional San Blas fair will be held, but this year's edition will be special, sinceas a preventive measure against nodular dermatosis there will be no cow or ox.
