Hi guys, how are you doing?
I apologize because I've been busy for personal reasons. I have received many questions by emails in Spanish and English about my country Spain and bullfights .
Well,well my friends ,the times and people change of mentality ( all countries happens this) ,so in Spain in the early seventies years of the last century were more than half of the citizens who declared themselves interested in bullfighting and by the end of that decade and during the 1980s accounted for less than 50% , now in 2018, 20 % of the Spaniards between 16y 65 years were in favor of bullfighting.
For the lovers of bullfighting is an art... Uff Omg..
For me and many Spaniards, it is a form of cruelty to animals in the name of culture, it is no excuse for the torture about any animal. Myself and the majority Spaniards say that the torture of animals should not exist anywhere in the world, and less in a modern country like Spain.
This is my personal opinion . I am against bullfighting , and I am very proud that Barcelona prohibited bullfighting .The prestigious ranchers say "Spain would not be Spain without the bulls. There is still a controversial debate about this. Bullfighters say that "It is the national holiday", and those who defend the animals and do not want bullfighting, we say it is a shame, is a torture and a crime,yes my friends,today the majority of Spanish include me ,we think it's a crime. I can't see that barbarity !!.
In my country the culture and the way of thinking changes depends where you live, in Barcelona (Northeast of Spain), the cultural level of the people who go to the Bullfighting is uncultured, they are almost illiterate, marginal.. But be careful with this! This is not always the case, because in Seville ( South of Spain ) the high society and the culture are going to bullfights.There in Seville the bullfights moves a lot of money, in Barcelona...nope!
I have realized a question to my followers of my country, the hobby of the bulls, being greater in Castilla y León (33.3%), Valencian Community (31.3%), Andalusia Ceuta and Melilla (29.1%) , Madrid and Castilla la Mancha (25.4%) in other regions such as Galicia (3.4%) and Catalonia (7.9%).
So what do you think about it?
Next time I'm going to make a video of this on my YouTube channel in Spanish link :
