It’s widely known that bullfights are one of
the most controversial celebrations in Spain. There are some cities like
Seville and Granada where they’re still celebrated and others that are fighting
against it, like Barcelona. For this reason, there are arguments for and
against this celebration.
On the one hand, people who are for say that it’s
part of the Spanish culture and tradition because it has been taking place for
many years and it’s considered a national party. Furthermore, it’s an engine
for the national economy because Spanish people and tourists go. Related to
that, it’s true that many people depend on this celebration so they are working
for this sector.
On the other hand, bullfighting is considered
animal torture because it’s not fair for bulls to die in fatal conditions. Moreover,
the government could spend this money on other things like improving education
and healthcare. Finally, traditions have to change and we have to evolve
towards other moral traditions.
In conclusion, even though there are people who
are pro this celebration, we consider bullfighting immoral and we don’t see
like art because there is no beauty in it.
