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.

+1000. I'd add abortion too.

This is animal torture dressed up as "tradition" and it's awful. When I was in Spain, I also learned that after a bullfighter is killed both the bull and its mother are killed because she (the cow) gave birth to a killer. Honestly, my experience with bullfighting tainted my whole view of Spain.

Clueless. They spear the bull's neck to make it drop, so it is easier to drop the sword for a clean kill.

Most have terrible aim then because the spears end up all over.

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

Now pass the paella!

Abortion has nothing to do with any of the other listed things, anti-choicer.

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.

Yes. Delicious meat and seafood. From animals that were humanely killed. Not tortured first in a ring for the amusement of others.

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

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.

Unless your meat comes from Whole Foods or a farmer's market, it was not humanely killed. Sorry to be the burster of your bubble.
