  1. Was in Spain in the 1960ts and went to many bull fights . After the bull was killed it was turned over to the butcher for slaughter and the meat sold the next day. Would you have it die of old age or disease and let some poor people go Hungary?🤨🥴

  4. Braces self for a bunch of self righteous people going to complain about how barbaric this is when they eat veal on the regular

  7. Not my cup of tea, but it's astonishing how many people here love nanny states. If people like it, let them be. Live and let live.

  8. If you don't like bull fighting, migrate to India , they revere bull vine there and by law not even the police are allowed to hurt it, at the slightest wrong it.

  11. Ridiculous, bizarre, absurd, promoting CRUELTY, VIOLENCE and INHUMANITY….. FORGET MEXICO!! If THIS is the BEST WAY for them to 🎉create Tourism attractions they will find FAILURE!! 😭😭😭😡😡🤬

  20. Killing an animal in such a way that causes extreme pain or prolong its suffering is inhumane. Just ask yourself, when you leave this world (everybody does at some point), would you prefer your passing to be a peaceful process, and maybe even a painless way or would you prefer to go out in a manner that is similar to what these animals go through?

  21. I went without knowing what they did to the bulls in the end here in Spain. I didn't stay long. I left. It was very hard to watch.

  24. Btw pootler said he will bring back every territory of ussr to russia 😂😂 so half of Berlin will be russian soon . Learn russian language before they come 😂😂

  31. Let the people see the bull fight I’m tired 🥱 all of these babies in the section crying about it.

  36. 50,000 people went to the see the bullfight and only 500 people showed up to protest, that hardly show the country being divide over the matter. While that doesn't mean bullfighting support is the majority, it does shows that most people don't care either way about it, not enough to show up an protest.

  42. Not divided, 95% hate this barbaric show, people who enjoy this cruelty belong to middle and high classes, you can identify among attendies to political and media "personalities", the Judge from the Supreme Court that allowed this decadent "show" belongs to that 5%, the same judges who liberates criminals, protect corrupt criminals, and stops the construction of goverment infraestructur e to benefit the entire population, because those judges are in the side of the rich and / or olligarchy.

  43. Hate liberal media that points every issue as “divided” actual studies show 3/4 of Mexicans do not approve of this and its also not Mexican it was imported from Spain.

  45. Horse racing, where horses are beaten and run for gambling, must be abolished.

    Gambling using animals needs to be reconsidered.
