Activity 2

One of the most popular activities in Madrid, the capital city of Spain, is called ‘Bullfighting.’ It has been a part of Spanish culture for centuries. In bullfighting people called ‘toreros and ‘matadors’ fight with a live bull. The toreros do most of the fighting and, ultimately, capture the bull and tie it up. Once it has been caught, the matador joins the fight and kills the bull. Although most toreros and matadors are men, there are some women who also compete in the sport.

Not everyone supports bullfighting in Spain. In fact, about 30% of the population want it to be banned (stopped) completely. What do you think? On your blog tell us whether or not you think that bullfighting should be banned in Spain. Please provide, at least, two reasons to support your decision.

I agree that bullfighting should be banned because I think when they are waving the flag of whatever it is, I personally think that this is teasing the bulls and even though some people are afraid because of their big horns that does not mean that the bull should be treated like that. Did they ever think of asking the bull before they pull them out of there own habitat. I also thing that this is a very dangerous this because when they make the bull aggressive It will charge and may hurt you. That is why I think that bullfighting should be banned.

I think we should banned this activity because I believe that bull does not want to get kill by human and everybody and animals do not want to get hurt. The bulls do have their own family and their friends, and also this is danger because some of the toreros or matadors get kill by a bull, I said that because I found a video to prove that link.

I think that bull fighting should not be banned because there is only 30% that want's it to be banned what about everyone else it won't be fair to everyone else why because you are just depending it on some people, sure some other people across the world wants it to be banned some people are unsure and some people just want to carry bull fighting on, well I think we should listen to those people who wants to carry on bull fighting hear what they have to say and if the people who don't want to keep bull fighting you don't have to see watch or do anything to have to do with bull fighting.

we should carry on the tradition of bull fighting maybe the bulls might of had gotten loose so they need to be locked in a secure steel stadium, we need to make sure that we can keep the people who don't want the bull fighting to go happy the opposition side happy to so we have a fair fight for everyone in Spain and we need to keep the people who are entertaining happy and the bull happy to.

I think that bullfighting should stop because it is cruel to the animal by having a horrible day before death. I also think that it should stop because what if the person got hurt by the bull.
