hmmm interesting

Some injustices go beyond "culture" - slavery, rape, domestic abuse, etc. Even animal cruelty.

+100 I'll also add that I don't embrace child brides, genital mutilation, blood fiestas (another "great" Spanish tradition) and more.

Exactly! Embracing another culture doesn't mean you have to adopt/support the violent aspects of it.

Now pass the paella!

Isn't paella usually made with seafood? Or rabbit? Or other meat? So it's ok to eat THOSE tortured animals, as long as they're on your plate, but not the bull fight? I am omnivorous, but eat very little meat and only if it comes from Whole Foods or a farmers market. If I could find a way to keep my iron up, I think I'd go vegetarian rather than risk eating an animal that lived a miserable life and died a terrible death.

I buy my beef from a local farmer who grass feeds and humanely kills the cow (it's called cow pooling). I also buy sustainable seafood and free range poultry/eggs. It's not perfect I'm sure, but at least I try to eat animals that live a good life and are raised in a way that doesn't harm the environment.

Also, eating an animal provides nourishment, not entertainment from torture.

You may want to live in a fantasy, but all animals raised for food suffer. Not only that, which is fairly significant, but that meat on your plate are babies; cows are slaughtered at 1.5, pigs @ 6 months and chicken @ 3 months. You've bought into the organic meat movement, another lie by the industry. Until we stop giving farm aid, cruelty will prevail.

Visit a family farm before saying stupid. You clearly you have an agenda that doesn't square with most of the world's opinion. Who cares that I'm eating babies? Other than the fact that they don't generally taste as good as adults.

Where did PP say anything about organic meat?

Spain's come a long way over the years. Sad that they still have bull fighting.

What is wrong with you, pp? A man died. He was somebody's son. And you are "glad" he was killed? SMH.

He chose to torture an animal for no reason...I have no sympathy either.

I don't understand the snark. I work with a guy who has his own farm and he brings me eggs each week. I sometimes also buy pasture-raised eggs from WF. Because I don't want to support the atrocities of conventional egg factory farms.

Just like I don't support bull fighting.

Also proud of the bulls who gorged people in Pamplona last week.

nice.

these bulls have the best lives of any bulls in the world. a domesticated animal, cattle, don't forget.

#1, they are not castrated to become steers like 99.9% of male cattle.

#2, they rarely if ever see humans. they eat the best grass. They roam essentially free.

#3, then their last 20 minutes is a fight where they die, yes.


Compare that live to that of the rest of cattle in the world and which one sounds better?

I think bullfighting is barbaric. I also think the way cattle is slaughtered for meat is barbaric. One being better or worse than the other doesn't make either okay in my eyes.

Beyond that, there's something sick and twisted about people wanting to view an animal being tortured and killed or wanting to view any kind of animal (or animal/human) fight to the death.

Have you read about what they do to greyhounds/galgos? In some ways, it's even worse than the bull fighting tradition.

Yes, I have no sympathy. He participated in the torture of an innocent animal. Good riddance.

+1. One less brave asshole in the world. Sooner or later this tradition will end.

Couldn't happen to a better "profession." (And I use that word loosely.)

Doesn't this happen every year? I don't get why this is even a post.
