Spain scrapped an annual bullfighting award on Friday, prompting a rebuke from conservatives over a backlash against a centuries-old tradition they see as an art form but which has run into growing concern for animal welfare.

The national award came in the form of a 30,000-euro government check and has been bestowed on famous bullfighters such as Julian Lopez, known as"El Juli," or cultural associations related to the bullfighting tradition. Opposition to bullfighting has also grown in Latin America, where the tradition was exported in the 16th century, and in southern France, where it spread in the 19th century.
