Spaniards against bullfighting
Although Spain’s national laws against cruelty to animals have abolished most archaic spectacles of animal cruelty, they specifically exempt bullfighting. Now a group of Spanish politicians, intellectuals, artists and environmentalists lead by the Green Party has called for the abolition of bullfights. It is claimed that public opinion in Spain is largely against bullfighting and according to some sources almost 70% of attendees at Barcelona bullring are tourists. In fact several towns in Spain have banned bullfighting altogether. In August 2007, state-run Spanish TV cancelled live coverage of bullfights claiming that the coverage was too violent for children who might be watching, and that live coverage violated a voluntary, industry-wide code attempting to limit “sequences that are particularly crude or brutal.”

Well that is a bit of good news! Ban all cruel animal sports and other cruel practices such as factory farm animals suffer……not to mention the dispicable practice of some Asian fur-farmers of skinning the animals alive! Tradition should not be used as an excuse for cruelty….we must move above and beyond such things and focus on whats GOOD in man(kind). There is so little of it left, it seems.
