  1. I think Bull fighting should be allowed because spain have done this for many years and now people wanna put a end to it. Also its apart of there culture and how they live life.

  2. I think that Barcelona should allow bullfighting because it is a big part of the Hispanic religion I think they should be able to have bullfights also the bull does not go to wast it is cut up and distribute to the Neddie after the fight

  3. I believe that Barcelona did the right thing by banding bull fighting. Bull fighting is a way to torture innocent bulls. They die just so people will have something to do on Sundays. I think that it is cruel and that Barcelona did the right thing by banding it.

  4. I do not think bull fighting should be legal anywhere because it is animal abuse.I think that they should ban it all over Spain. I do not like bull fighting because you are killing animals that have done nothing to you and you are torturing them.

  6. I definitely believe bullfighting should be banned because of the amount of bulls being killed. It is animal cruelty. If you think, you wouldn't want anyone or anything stabbing your body for enjoyment. A bull should not have to go through torture and pain because people want to do the "sport". The areas in Spain who banned bullfight did the right thing. I do not believe killing bulls for fun has cultural value. Instead of taking the life of an animal for fun, they can find something else to enjoy that benefits everyone.

  7. They should keep bull fighting because they kill the bull for a good purpose.The bull meat goes to shelters and poor people to eat.The bull was going to get slaughtered anyway.

  8. I think that it should be banned because all these innocent bulls are being stabbed and killed for no reason. I think it was the right thing that Barcelona banned it. They may call this sport but to me I think it's torture.

  9. I think that bull fighting should be kept because it is part of their culture. Even though many people may call it animal abuse, it wouldn't have lived anyway. It would have been butchered and sold. In bull fighting however, the meat is given to the poor.

  10. I think that it should be banned because even though the meat of the bull is going to charity, they were going to kill it anyway so they shouldn't kill it in a cruel way just for others entertainment

  11. I think that although it's part of their culture, and the meat is going to be given to orphanages, my opinion is that bullfighting is just the same as a slaughterhouse....just in a public arena. No animal should have to face that. :(

  12. I think they should be able to keep bull fighting because they are killing and sending it off to a slaughter house they could cut it up and make it into food the only thing is that they play around with it to make it fun.

  13. I think bull fighting should not be banned its been apart of their heritage and culture for so many years. Every time I think of the Spanish culture in general I think of bullfighting. Yes they harm animals but its been a tradition that should not be taken away and its ashame to all of the people that passed down bull fighting from generation to generation.

  14. I think it should be banned because you are killing harmless animals and abusing them to your best ability killing bulls is not a great thing to do to animals.So i think bull fighting should be banned for the safety of the bulls and the people.

  16. i think it should be banned because killing animals that cant really fight back is wrong and you are ending there lifes for no reason

  17. I think it should not be banned because it is their culture. These bulls were trained to do this and i dont think its wrong. somethings that we do to other cultures may seem mean or disrespectful but it is what we do. it's what makes our culture special. I dont believe that they should stop something that it traditional to them.
