Thread:Comments:Bull fighting banned in Catalonia/Barbaric cruelty or a fine art?/reply (4)

Absolutely barbaric! Certainly not a sport and certainly no art form. The bull is already weakened before it enters the ring by a blow to the kidneys and by rubbing vaseline into its eyes. Thereafter there is a slow agonizing demise to satisfy the blood-lust of those "culture" seekers. This scene is carried out Spain with the torture and slaughter of 30,000 bulls anually. As in most things in life, this "sport" yields much revenue to Spain, particularly in the tourist sector, they won't easily let this go. Whatever the true reasoning behind the Catalonian decision I applaud them. Finally, in one part of Spain at least, the higher qualities of humanity will prevail, the very ones that recognize and enjoy true culture.
