File - In this July 6, 2012 file photo, Spanish mounted bullfighter Pablo Hermoso de Mendoza celebrates beside a dead bull after a horseback bullfight in Pamplona, northern Spain. Spain&#39;s state TV will start airing live bullfights again on Sept. 5, 2012 after the new conservative government lifted a six-year ban on the tradition that has been hard hit by declining popularity and the economic crisis. It&#39;s a big victory for pro-bullfighting forces who saw fights prohibited this year in the northeastern region of Catalonia. And it&#39;s a defeat for animal rights activists who denounce bullfighting as barbaric. The live transmissions were halted in 2006 by Spain&#39;s previous Socialist administration, which said they were costly and coincided with youth TV viewing hours. (AP Photo/Alvaro Barrientos, File)
