In Portugal, there are bullfighting schools where children can learn techniques from any age – pga slot albeit not necessarily involving a live animal. The UN Committee wants a minimum age of 12.

It also expressed concern about minors attending bullfights as pga slot spectators, given the often very bloody violence involved, and would like the current minimum age of six to be raised.

Unlike in neighbouring Spain, in Portugal the bull is not killed in the pga slot ring, but is invariably badly mauled before being led away to be pga slot slaughtered out of sight.

Portugal's government and political parties have not so far pga slot responded to the Committee's recommendations.
