BULLFIGHTING: FOR AND AGAINST ESSAY

Bullfighting is an event where a person, called "matador" in Spanish, kills a bull cruelly, with a lot of people seeing it. This event is a feature of Spanish culture.


Some people defend bullfighting saying that was and is a tradition of our country, and because of that we should preserve it. Another argument for bullfighting could be that everybody is free to do and like whatever they want, respecting, of course, the Human Rights.


But there are a lot of people in Spain that are against bullfighting saying that it's a cruelty act against the animal rights. These people think that it's not funny to kill an animal, and also show it to tourists as a Spanish symbol.


It's scientifically proved that animals have no feelings, and because of that I think that we shouldn't ban an important tradition for many people in Andalusia and other parts of Spain. Maybe we should concentrate on whether what they do and the traditions they have are ethical or not.

BULLFIGHTING

Bullfighting is an old tradition in Spain, in which a man confronts a bull. Usually the animal is injured and killed , so there is controversy on whether this tradition should be banned. As far as I’m concerned, bullfighting, although it is typically Spanish, will disappear.

Firstly, the bull is tortured as the matador stabs the animal a few ornaments. After all the suffering, he is killed in a thrust. Even, sometimes the bullfighter cuts the ears or tail. 

Secondly, many people say that the animal dies with dignity but this is not true, he can't defend himself and if he does, he is killed  anyway.

In conclusion, killing an animal without any reason, only to pass the time, is cruel and it should be prohibited.

BULLFIGHTING

In the last few years bullfighting has become more and more controversial. But is bullfighting right or wrong?  Here are some ideas that make me believe that bullfighting must not be banned.

Firstly, bullfighting is a very important tradition in Spain, and it is a very popular one too, if we ban bullfighting we will lose our culture, every country has it's different traditions and they are all slowly losing them. Secondly, the bulls that participate in this tradition are very aggressive animals and they protect themselves, so the bullfighters are in a very dangerous position when they fight, because they have the same chances of getting hurt, so it's a fair fight.

To sum up, bullfighting is the symbol of the culture of Spain and, even though I don't watch it, it shouldn't be banned because of its popularity.

Bullfighting

As you may know, bullfighting is a Spanish traditional sport in which a man, the bullfighter, is in a closed place with a bull and has to kill it in an amusing way. Anyway, it’s very popular in the country, but as any other controversial activity, it   has its supporters  but it   is also attacked by lots of people who want it to be banned.

First of all, before our entertainment, we should consider what we are doing. Is it really human, meaningful, to kill a bull in a bloody way while thousands of people watch, amused? Do these people feel something towards the suffering bull? It reminds me of that old tradition of throwing a goat from a belfry. It seems that in this country, people like seeing animals in pain. It’s creepy, isn’t it? But there're   people who want to ban it and are fighting to do so (for example, in Cataluña). Maybe the rest of Spain will follow their lead.
On the other hand, it has its supporters as well. The ones who claim it to be an important part of the tradition of the country. Well, that’s true, but really, if it has to be this way, I’d prefer there was no tradition.

To sum up, in spite of being part of this country’s tradition, I agree with all the ones that are trying to stop this murderous sport, maybe to bring some humanity, to make people think first of the lives they are taking rather than   their own entertainment.

BULLFIGHTING

Do you think bullfighting is right or wrong? What are your thoughts on bullfighting?

Bullfighting is part of Spanish culture but it causes a lot controversy among Spanish and foreign animal protectors.

                            

In my opinion, as well as being part of Spanish culture, it’s a tradition that shouldn’t be lost as it’s considered a form of art. The bull doesn’t really suffer as much as people think, especially the species of bulls that are used in bullfighting and anyway a bull always has a chance to survive if it manages to gore the bullfighter. Furthermore, bullfighting is a way of generating money as many Spanish and foreign people go and watch it, consequently, it’s good for the Spanish economy. Moreover, it’s a way of protecting the species of bulls which could become extinct.

In conclusion, I think bullfighting shouldn’t be banned as we would be losing one of our most important traditions and part of our identity. 

BULLFIGHTING

Bullfighting is a tradition in Spain  which now is being debated by some people. In this tradition some experts, usually men,  fight against the bulls and try to kill them.

Some people think that banning bullfighting implies banning a Spanish tradition and many Spanish people are identified with this tradition. These people don’t think that animals are similar to humans, they think that they don’t have feelings. And in our country there are some laws against animal abuse, but this law doesn’t include the bulls, if we can’t kill a dog or a cat why can we kill a bull, they are animals  too.

Finally I think that bullfighting is a tradition of Spain, but I don’t like it, because a lot of people have a great time watching a man kill a bull , and I really think that bullfighting should be banned, because it isn’t a good spectacle.

Bullfighting

Bullfighting is a traditional show in Spain, where experts called “toreros” run in a square with a bull and people go there to have a good time.

On the one hand, some people think that bullfighting is a traditional activity and that it shouldn’t be banned because it’s a way to express Spanish art such as painting or singing. Moreover, people don’t think animals have feelings, so they think it’s funny to mistreat them.

On the other hand people think animals have feelings and it’s cruel to treat them like that or even kill them. Furthermore, bullfighting is not the only traditional activity in Spain and there are more ethical things to have a good time.

To sum up, I think bullfighting is part of our culture although I don’t like it at all. I think it’s very cruel and boring and I would never go there to spend my time.

Why are we bullfighting?

Bullfighting is a common spectacle in our country, but lately it's being questioned by part of the population. The discussion is about whether it's ethical or not.

In my opinion, bullfighting is anachronistic: it’s been a long time since we started bullfighting, most of countries have left behind some “traditions” which weren’t politically correct. We’ve kept this tradition, if we can consider bullfighting so.

Our laws protect animals from abuse, we cannot injure seriously our dog, for example. But there’s an exception in these laws: bulls aren’t protected. We may ask ourselves why. Don’t have bulls the same rights as other animals? Aren’t they animals too? Isn’t it a contradiction? Perhaps these laws exclude bulls in order not to forbid bullfighting. Perhaps we’re admitting that bullfighting is an abuse, a torture which ends with the animal’s death.

Some may say that bullfighting is interesting for tourists: Spain is the only place in Europe where we can see this spectacle. But we all know that bullfighting is not the only thing we have in this country: our beautiful beaches and our hot weather are the main source of tourists. Probably, most tourists don’t even see a bullfight during their stay in Spain.

Most of the media talk about great bullfights and famous bullfighters, but most of them don’t show the cruelty of this spectacle. The bull dies because of a massive loss of blood while everyone shouts and claps.

To sum up, I think bull fighting should be left in our past: it’s contradictory, cruel and it may not be interesting for our visitors.

BULLFIGHTING

Bullfighting is a traditional Spanish spectacle in which people enjoy seeing how the bullfighter kills  a bull. Bullfighting is legal in different countries, not only in Spain but also in Mexico, Peru, Colombia and in southern France.

Supporters of bullfighting think that it is an important tradition which has been part of the Spanish history and part of the art in general. But is it really important if we keep this tradition?

Nowadays we can not enjoy with this kind of games. We aren't at the time of the Romans, when the gladiators fought with lions or with other beasts.

If currently we protect animals that are in danger because of their hunt, I think that we must protect animals that die only to entertain us with their horrible death. In my opinion bullfighting is wrong, because it is a cruel and bloody tradition, so I think that it has to dissapear.

DO YOU THINK BULLFIGHTING IS RIGHT OR WRONG? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON BULLFIGHTING?

Bullfighting is an old Spanish tradition in which the bullfighter and the bull create a great spectacle in the bullring, but the end of this show is based on the bull’s death. From this “definition” can we say that this “sport” is legitimate?

Firstly, we must mention the controversy that this tradition has created in “Cataluña”, their citizens think that this kind of sport goes against animals’ life, because bullfighters and bullfighting fans believe that this sport is art but we must be aware that this art consists on a bloody sport, in which we can see the suffering of bulls and horses.

For all of these things, I don’t agree with this practice in spite of its cultural value because we haven’t got the right to take animals’ life, just to put in a show.

Do you think bullfighting is right or wrong? What are your thoughts on bullfighting? Explain.

Bullfighting is a big tradition in Spain, especially in Catalonia, but is it a good tradition? Is it  ethical? Those are questions people  ask themselves nowadays. In my opinion, bullfighting is wrong although it is traditional.

First of all, some people defend bullfighting saying that it is their tradition, but this argument is not enough. I don’t like this show because some animals are hurt  furthermore, in my opinion it is not ethical that people enjoy watching the bulls suffer in this show, even though it is the tradition.  What’s more, in that spectacle not only the animal suffers, the bullfighter can get hurt as well.  In other words, I can’t understand how people enjoy themselves watching another being suffer.

In conclusion, I think this tradition has to be banned or at least  we have to introduce some new laws which protect bulls from any kind of injures. If people want to continue with this tradition they have to promise not to injure the bulls.

Bullfighting

Bullfighting is the sport of baiting and killing a bull as a public spectacle and also the typical tradition of Spain. But, nowadays, in some places in Spain, bullfighting has been much criticized, because some people think that bullfighting tortures bulls and kills them without consideration. Do you think bullfighting is right or wrong?

In my opinion, bullfighting is totally wrong, because some bullfighters are recognized as artists and I think that  a  person who kills harmless animals can’t be called an artist . Furthermore, bullfighters say that bullfighting doesn’t abuse bulls, and it’s wrong because they stab bulls with a sword and they bleed so they are abused. In addition, bullfighters say that bullfighting is a tradition, but I think that a tradition which kills animals shouldn't be allowed.

In conclusion, bullfighting is a bad tradition  that should be  banned because they are killing bulls the animal dies in terrible conditions.
