Continuing with the Kindness to Bovines thread, I'm pleased to learn that at long last the cruel "sport" of bullfighting has been banned in the Catalonia region of Spain, which includes the city of Barcelona.  One of the reasons I never wanted to visit Spain was because of their inhumane treatment of these animals.  

I'm always rooting for the bull in a bullfight or during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, in which people have actually set enraged, terrified animals' horns on fire. It's clear who are the real animals. These kinds of barbaric activities must go the way of bull baiting and throwing Christians to the lions in ancient Rome.  Torturing animals is just not acceptable in modern society. What civilized person would ever want to see an animal treated so cruelly?  Bully for Catalonia!  I hope this trend will continue and bullfights will be outlawed throughout the country.
