OLE GIVES WAY TO ADIOS

Submitted by ub on

It appears to us that in this day and age, this so-called civilized society, a most vicious and cruel spectacle of blood continues to flourish in several countries.

Bullfighting is barbaric and should have been banned long ago, as bear-baiting was. It is difficult to understand how crowds of people will pay money and take pleasure in watching one lone creature - who has never done them any harm — getting hacked to death.

How can anyone with an ounce of compassion, cheer and chant Olé as a banderilla or lance is thrust into the animal’s pain-racked body?
