Great news. The autonomÃa of Catalonia has abolished bullfighting.
This is not the 'harnessing of predator on prey by man' nor is it 'vermin control' or 'wildlife management'.
I have spent a fair proportion of my life in Spain but have never put my money into supporting a bullfight by paying to go to a corrida.
In the 70s, bullfighting was shown on TV on Sunday afternoons in Spain so I have seen this vile spectacle in all of its gory glory. The wanton, stylised torture of an animal to death over some 20 minutes is indefensible.
Well done to the Catalans!
