So glad that Spain (or a large part of it) has at last banned bull fighting
. I was always puzzled about how people could enjoy watching a poor animal being tortured and slowly murdered in an arena - even more puzzled at those animal killerSpanish people who say it's a proud Spanish tradition. Proud? What's to be proud about? If I was Spanish I would feel shame that the public spectacle of animal cruelty wasa national attraction that people paid money to watch. Imagine if in other countries they held similar national events as part of their tradition. Watching animal cruelty for entertainment is reminiscent of Roman times and has no place in civilized society. Now that the law has been passed you'll hear a lot from the bull fighting supporters but it will all be a lot of bull. The big thing the bull killers will really miss is the money. It's a big money busi Best that beautiful Spain bathe in more civilized glories - like recently winning the world cup soccer this year. Congratulations mes amigos. What a win. I knowthat most of you would prefer sports like soccer and tennis than butchering bulls in public. Now let's see all of Spain support animal rights. Let's wipethe bloody stain of bulls' blood from Spain's history. In the past bulls used to be worshiped as very special creatures. You have ancient paintings in your caves that portray it. Bulls are noble and brave creatures and have a right to dignity and respect. And while you are at it don't just stop at bulls. Prohibit cock fighting, dog fighting, horse fighting and similar disgraces around the world . But meanwhile I sincerely thank those dear Spanish people who helped to ban bull fighting. Bravo!
