    Default Your opinions on bullfighting?

    Since there is an ongoing discussion about this in another thread, i thought i should start this. Bullfighting exists in Spain, Portugal, Mexico and if i'm not mistaken France and other parts of Latin America. I'm sure each country has its own specifications and differences.

    I'm my opinion, and regarding only bullfighting in Portugal, it should not be banned since it's a part of our history and culture. There is also a prominent sub-culture with bull and horse breeding connected to it, especially in the southern half of the country. I think i've only been to bullfights when i was a little kid, after that i have only went to local festivities where they release bulls on the streets. So it's not like i'm over ethusiastic about it.

    Poll will be added.

    I have never attended one. I have seen parts by t.v. But I am in favor.

    It is an industry that includes: Tradition, history, culture, entertainment, livestock, agriculture, veterinary, medicine, zoology, biology, reproduction, food, tailoring, and a long e.t.c.

    The calf of the bull can remain with the mother unlike other animals for human consumption and also in a state of semi-freedom.

    I don't know much about the subject, but which animal for human consumption can live pampered and semi-freed for 5 years?

    None and the brave bull yes.

    According to oral family tradition E-FT155550 comes from a deserter of Napoleon's troops (1808-1813) who stayed in Spain and changed his surname.

    Regarding bullfighting in Portugal, I have said already a few times before that I am against it. And before someone says that I am not entitled to interfere on what others like or enjoy...yes, that would be the case if this practice was not partially financed with my taxes, which it is. So I am more than entitled to be against it if I want to.

    I will vote on the option "it should be banned" even though I do not believe that a banning law is really that necessary. It is a dying tradition from my perception that is going to likely end sooner or later because even the majority of people who enjoy it rarely attend bullfighting arenas.

    Unlike Spain where it is practiced throughout most of the country, bullfighting in Portugal is equally a very old tradition but more regional, almost exclusive to Alentejo, Ribatejo and Lisbon metropolitan area. In my birth town there is no bullfighting tradition. I come from a large family and bullfights have never been a topic of conversation.

    As a PaleoEuropean I object to all killing of animals non-essential to the survival of my people. Also the Bull/Aurochs is a symbol of Europe.

    Rules should be changed. Instead of getting stabbed into the body the whole fight. The sword should be replaced until the last deadly stab, than the Torrero should use the sword and make sure to kill the bull as fast as possible. Let's be honest the artistic perfomance is not the problem. The problem is that the animal is being tortured for around 20 minutes with multiple stabs given purposely to the body to not kill it.

    Edit: with stabs I meant the harpoons, they should be abandoned.
