    MADRID, Spain (AP) -- Barcelona's town hall has passed a resolution condemning bullfighting and declaring the city as Spain's first to oppose the centuries-old sport.

    The vote is nonbinding and does not ban bullfighting in Spain's second-largest city. Only the regional parliament of Catalonia can do that.

    That's one step in the right direction.

    Animal Experiments rank up to $15 billion per year, yet we spend $600 billion on treating illness.

    I am the voice of the voiceless;
    Through me the dumb shall speak,
    Till the deaf world's ear be made to hear
    The wrongs of the wordless weak.

    And I am my brother's keeper,
    And I will fight his fight;
    And speak the word for beast and bird
    Till the world shall set things right.
