      Cool Bullfighting

      I personally love living in Spain, love its culture, the people, the environment ect ect..., But there is one thing I absolutely hate is Bullfighting:no:.
      Most polls show that the majority of Spaniards want it banded or don't care if its banned but as with everything else here progress is painfully slow. Catalonia have agreed to impose a ban starting in 2012 and the Canary Island have had a ban since 1991.
      What do you think?

      Sorry don't agree with the bull fighting at all, the same with dog fighting etc. It is a cruel sport.

      Agreed. I find it amazing that human beings can sit and watch 2 dogs rip each other to shreads in the name of entertainment.
      Makes me sick...

      Any 'sport' that involves an animal being killed is abhorrent. I'm amazed that in this day and age people still go and watch it.

      Any form of animal cruelty makes me want to cry.

      Whenever I see clips on TV of bullfighting and the matador gets the receiving end of the bull, that when I say OLE!!!! Serves him fecking right. Deserves to die a very slow and painful death............

      TBF its mainly the older generation that are into it. I've had to leave bars when they have it on the TV, it disturbs me that much. Hopefully it will be fased out as the younger generation start taking over. Also what i find disturbing is the way the adults take there kids and get all dressed up as if they are going to church..
      Thankfully most of the kids stop going when they get old enough to speak up.
      it happens a lot everywhere in the world...

      Sounds like it could be quite disturbing for the kids.
