Most of people from different countries thinks that the spaniards like the bullfighting, but It's just the opposite.
The animals should have the same rights than the humans, only for being alive.
They are too better than the humans, they not deserve abuse and less for our entertainment. That's too unfair, isn't it?
It's true that there are people who like it but i think that it's going to disappear in the future thought there are people sectors who like it yet.
Culture doesn't justify violence and animal abuse, also that something can't be culture.
To make matters worse, despite the students and teachers are stiked too much to avoid cuts in education, the education's minister of our community autonomy wanted to create a vocacional trainning about this blasphemy
Why can the people love this?

Hello, I'm Venezuelan and since there are many Spaniards in our country, has rooted tradition of the bullfight, which I consider inhuman and insensitive to the bulls who are beings who also feel pain, compassion and great sadness when they are mutilated not support this practice at all.

My Spanish teacher made us watch a documentary on bullfighting. Before that I always thought it was just some guy waving a blanket around and the bull would chase him. The reality is horrifying to look at. I think only psychopaths would find the suffering these animals endure, as "entertaining.".

We have a similar tradition here in Tamil Nadu during the Pongal festival. In olden times, only brave and strong men could tame a bull. It was a criteria set by a girl's father if a guy wanted to marry a girl and the episode was seen as an act of strength and bravery. Nowadays, it makes no sense to see too man people running with bulls in an open ground doing nothing but getting squashed by the bulls.

I'm sorry to hear this is still going on as a sport.
At least some of the athletes get hurt from the horns, so they feel the bull's anger.
Where did this idea of fighting a bull come from ? Only the human mind could invent such a sport.
Maybe that's how many people make themselves feel superior and better. Or maybe they gamble.
The history of the bulldog from wikipedia says that bulldogs were used to bite the bulls in the nose as a sport called bull-baiting.
That's a side effect witch made the dogs suffer too.
Is there any government post about stopping the bullfighting in the future ?
I think I have heard about it in the news about spain, but, I'm not sure when. I hope all kinds of animal abuse will stop soon.

It seems a brutal and senseless killing of magnificent animals.
