Bullfighting
In my opinion this was a short article for such a big issue. The article includes comments of people from different countries, in other words, people from different cultures. Hence, every comment would conflict with the rest. The issues here can be considered to be the fact that if animals have rights and if the bullfighting should be remain as part of the Spaniards tradition. For the first issue my answer is yes, animals do have rights. Why would they do not? they where created to serve us, their purpose of existence is to serve human beings as human being were created to serve God. However, it is very important to take into consideration that entertainment is not a way in which animals serve people. The idea had been misunderstood. The way that animals can serve humans is by feeding us or by being a way of transportation. The end never was to die or being killed just to entertain people. There is where the problem takes place. Sports that have as an end to kill animals, if they can be called sports, should not be supported by anyone, not even if it is considered to be part of a country tradition.
If people believe that traditions should be remain, then why do Indians had to give up their traditions just because Spaniards came to our continent claiming that these lands belonged to them. Indians had to change their customs, their beliefs, and even their language. Now this same country, this same culture, is not willing to give up one of their traditions just because it is part of their culture. It is morally wrong not to be equal. When Indians were making sacrifices, they were obligated by Spaniards to stop doing them; they were obligated to give up their traditions, their culture. Spain is now just facing the same situation they produced a few centuries ago.
