  1. I think it has cultural value and Barcelona should allow it, for 1. It would help out the economy there, because it's a tradition to go every Sunday. It's part of culture cause they have done this for hundreds of years.

  2. I think that Barcelona should continue to ban bullfighting, because even though it may be traditional I would still consider it as animal cruelty. During bullfights they wait torture the bull til it's helpless, then kill them. I feel as if, if you want to kill them.. You should give them a chance to fight for their life. They're still living, breathing, and can still feel pain. You wouldn't want to be tortured, and killed in front of thousands of people... Would you?

  3. I see both sides of the story. I agree with Sofia and Ana, they should ban bullfightin in Barcelona because they are torturing the animals. I dont think they should kill and torture animals just for their own pleasures. Then again I see why they continue to have bullfighting in other countries because it is a tradition. People kill turkeys so that we can continue our tradition of having turkey every Thanksgiving Day. So I agree with it, but I also disagree.

  4. I do not believe that bull fighting should be banned only because of the simple fact that it's apart of their culture. If we grew up around it we wouldn't see it as animal cruelty but just as something we do every Sunday.

  5. I think that bullfighting should NOT be banned.The reason why I believe this is because taking away bullfighting from them is like taking away football or basketball from us.I think it would cause a conflict in wherever they ban it and conflict promotes violence.If they knew better, they would keep bullfighting.

  6. I believe that bullfighting should NOT be banned at all, I feel as though bullfighting to them, is like basketball or football away from.Their cities or countries would be very upset and that will cause conflicts.People actually look foward to those fights, dont ake it away from them.
