  1. yeah i think it should be banned. even though they kill the bull and give it to the poor they torture it and mess with it. im pretty sure people wouldn't like to be stabbed and made into a hamburger.

  2. No,i think it shouldnt be banned because bulls are over populated, and it provides food for people in spain. Also it is a part of history in the spanish culutre

  3. I believe that bull fighting should be banned. Every Sunday people would gather to watch a man torture an animal, then finish it by stabbing it in the back. Although they do distribute the meat of the bull that was killed to the unfortunate, it's still wrong and it is animal cruelty.

  5. i think bullfighting should be banned because i think that people should not have to risk their life to entertain other people. Also the poor bull is getting tortured alive and stabbed just for people to be entertained.

  6. yes i do think that bullfighting should be banned. i think that bullfighting should be banned because it is a celebration of the killing of an animal. they stab it numerous times to result in killing it, which i completely disagree with.

  7. I think bull fighting should be banned. Because its against animal right, and it's wrong for people who enjoy watching the bull getting kill in public. I love animal and i don't think other people hate it.

  8. i think that bullfighting should be banned, because it not nice to do mean things to animals. plus it hurts and kills the people that are in the fight with the bull. also its not a good idea to have something like that going on, because its a bad habit for children.

  9. i think it should be banned because its not right to torture animals like that even though they do it for a good cause. why would anyone enjoy to do that to animals what if they were that animal getting tortured they wouldn't like it.

  10. i feel as though it don't really concern me, but understand both sides of the story. i feel as though it is a shame what happens to the animals, however, its part of their culture and one of there religious ceremonies/rituals, so i think that people have to respect that.

  11. Yes. I think bullfighting should be banned because even though it is part of spanish culture, theres no need to need to kill innocent bulls every couple day I could see if it was once every month, but they do it often. Also it should be banned because when they kill the celebrate and drag it around the stadium.

  12. No, I think that bullfighting should not be banned because if it gets banned its like taking away Spain's Football,Thats like taking Football away from Americans. So bullfighing sould not be banned at all

  13. I believe that bullfighting should not be banned. In spain bullfighting is a very important part of their culture it is their favorite past time. It provides a great deal of revenue for spain and creates jobs to stimulate the economy. Its not rrally as bad for the bull as people think. Bulls are such strong animals and have such strong hides that they arent hurt much by the fight and these bulls actually live a better life than most bulls; they are fed very well and are in excellent shape. So although they meet a terrible fate, they die with honor after a good long life.

    In my opinion i think bullfighting should be banned, but there are god and bad things that come from bullfighting like. the good after they are done using the bull they give it to the people and i think that is a good idea. the bad is that they kill the bull and pretty much torturer it the whole time that's animal curtly and in my opinion its not right so bullfighting should definitely be banned

  15. Bullfighting, should be banned because their harmlessly killing the poor animal. Either way it dies. I can see why the Animal Rights Activist had to say something. At least they stood up for something. Although, I think it should be banned i also think that it shouldn't be banned because it's apart of their practices and traditions. If anything for this to be solved why don't they just watch cartoons, they do bullfighting.
