As I’m a great defender of animal’s rights, bullfightings shouldn’t be allowed not even in popular festivities. I understand these are very popular, a remarkable attraction to foreign people and bulls are often related to Spain. This is maybe why some people are against banning bullfightings. But the thing is, who does really enjoy watching a bull being tortured until death?. They do have feelings too, they do feel the sticks being nailed in their bodies, they bleed, they suffer.
Some people claims that if it wasn’t for the bullfightings, bulls would no longer exist. This might be true, but I think they can be used for other reasons such as help with the agriculture or even for food.
In fact, there are many organizations against bullfightings and other traditional parties which involve bulls and other animals like goats. And they are often arrested by the police just for demonstrate against these traditions.
However, governments like the one in Cataluña banned the bullfightings in the whole region a few years ago, and other ones are trying to enforce that law.
I think this prohibition must be extended to the whole mainland of Spain in order to be respectful with animals and with the nature itself.
