In Spain, bullfighting forms a large part of culture and tradition. In some Spanish regions, such as in the autonomous community of Castilla y León, this bullfighting event has been held for a long time and remains one of the most important and well-known entertainment in Spain. However, the bullfight is considered a very controversial show and not always enjoys good reputation among some people. Lately, different organizations have been formed to fight against the mistreatment of animals, especially the bulls that are used in this show, which according to the opponents, is a cruel spectacle that should be banned quickly.
Thus, a controversy occurs not only within Spanish society, but also outside the country. There are two sides and each has reasons and rights to express the opinion. The opponents who in most part are the defenders of the rights of the animals, say that the bullfights are a pure sample of the violence towards the bulls that are not in conditions to oppose the man. Also, they believe that the bulls, these poor animals, should not be mistreated by the attraction of the people, which is just a brutal act and not humanitarian at all. Thanks to many occasions, they ask us to realize that during these shows, the bulls not only suffer a lot, but above all they are killed. For what? Why can people have a little fun? In his opinion, no creation of God can be treated in this way, that the barbarian times are over and all beings even animals deserve respect.
The opponents think that it is very important that we take into account that the treatment of the bulls is totally unfair since they also have feelings and surely feel the pain. They are also not able to defend themselves, in other words, it is an unequal struggle in which only man can win.
On the other hand, there are people who see in the animal bulls that are created to fight and also die in this way. Fans of bullfighting do not see anything wrong with these shows, what's more, they consider this event to be the perfect fun to spend their free time with family and friends. They often say that seeing a bullfight can feel like people in antiquity who also enjoyed time like this and point out that bullfighting is a very long tradition that they wanted to keep as long as possible.
In spite of this, the organizations that continue fighting for the equal treatment of the animals, show their opposition to the celebration of the tournament. Thanks to this, they have achieved that the controversy, the tension and therefore also the opposition to the bullfighting events is much bigger among the Spaniards.
