My wife is Spanish and I asked her for her veiw on the matter,
She thinks its cruel and indeed in some parts of Spain it has been banned such as Barcelona
No its not Sport BUT a Tradition that goes back many many years and although Spain is changed its part of a lot of Spanish both old and young"s lives,
There are still many people employed in this "sport " not the thousands of the 50"s and 60"s that even today are seen as "film star " status their pictures adorn many Restaraunts and Tapas bars but a dwindleing Traditon that will eventually be only in small pockets of Spain mainly in the South
From her veiw the older the person is the fonder the memory is, the under 20"s are indifferent they have music untold vidio games etc , bull fighting is on TV but if they have the tv control button it would be turned over pretty quick not because they dont like it but just because they would prefer to watch something else
Regards
