    I don't think bullfighting should be banned. I think that it is a huge tradition for people to go and watch a bullfight for their entertainment. I understand the fact that the activist do not like the bulls being killed, but in my eyes, they are going to get anyway. Bullfighting has been around for hundreds of years and who are these people to come along ruin this tradition? That's like banning people from being vegetarians!

    I think it does have a cultural benefit but in the same token its not a good thing because, i see it as torture to the animals. It also benefits poor people who cant afford food but, they shouldn't have to torture the animal before they kill it.I do think that it should be banned everywhere, that's just my opinion.

    I think that banning bull fights in Catalan is a good idea. It is dangerous and people who are not experienced could really get hurt. Bull fighting is also animal torturous I think.

    I think that bullfighting should not be banned because that's apart someone's culture. If they like doing that then let do that. They think they are giving they bulls to the Gods an doing something good. Bullfighting to them is fun an they enjoy it, so why take what they love away from just because you don't like it. So I think bullfighting should not be banned.

    I think that bullfighting should be banned because its animal cruelty and if it was here in the united states whoever started it would be arrested. It should be treated how they treat dog fights.

    i think bullfighting should be banned because its worse than dog fighting. they try to humiliate the bulls before they die then cut them apart.

    I think Bullfighting should not be banned .Reason being that it is how that culture makes its money . Also there is so many other animals such as chickens that are being killed every day but nobody says anything about that . So that is why i say they should not ban bullfighting.

    I think that bullfighting should be banned because it isn't fair for a person to kill a harmless bull. I know that bull fighting is part of Spanish culture, but the it isn't fair for thousands of people to watch and celebrate a bull getting executed.

    I do not think that bullfighting should be banned because that is part of the spanish lifestyle. Also I think it shouldn't be banned because it makes a lot of profits for Spain because there is bullfighting arenas all over Spain. Thats why i think bullfighting shouldn't be banned in Spain.

    I think that bull fighting should be banned and be illegal because people are sitting around watching bulls get tourtured and killed and are sitting around and hceering about it. I think that these people should go to jail and think about this terrible action that they are a part of. It is wrong and unfair to the bull.

    I think bullfighting should be banned because they are touturing the bull for no reason and soon there are going to be extincted. Even though it should be banned it also is a very big part of culture and does help the less fortunate, but there should be a different way to celebrate their culture. Killing the innocent bull just for the sport is unfair to the bull.

    I think that bull fighting should be band for good, because their torturing and killing bulls for no reason. i also think that these people should be punished for what they are doing to these innocent bulls. i understand that it's culture to the Spanish people but they shouldn't sit around and watch bulls get tortured and killed.

    I believe that they should ban bull fighting. It's so crual and rude. They raise the bull to fight, then in the fight they make them extremely tired and kill them. It's so not fair for the bull. The bull has to go through all this pain ,and his life, all because some one decided, "Hey im going to bull fight and kill bulls."
