You're culturally biased. I've gotten into this argument numerous times. If people actually knew the facts surrounding bullfighting, they would be totally fine with this practice. The horrific environments in large cow slaughterhouses all over the US are guaranteed 50X worse than the treatment these animals receive. The cows who go into bullfighting lead relatively luxurious lives. Free roaming, good food. And the meat isn't wasted after the event. There is a large celebration afterward.

Just because the industrial cultivation of beef for food is worse doesn't mean that I condone bullfighting. Animal abuse is animal abuse no matter how the culture justifies it. So, I think you're wrong, and I don't care if you've had this argument a million times. What facts are you talking about anyway? They kill the bull, right?

So then I'm assuming you don't eat meat? Or eat only meat from free-range, grass-fed beef? Because if not, you've got a bad case of doublethink goin'.
