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

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.

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

+1000. I'd add abortion too.
Abortion has nothing to do with any of the other listed things, anti-choicer.

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.
