I am sorry but I have always been against the cruelty to bulls in spain especially in this time of life when we have supposedly come so far forward or have we, the more humans beings living in this world have contributed widely to more suffering of our fellow earthling the list is exhausted and growing by the day, I can not even start to begin to list the cruelty that goes on to every other earthlings called animals, we do not have a right to exploit these other earthlings although it appears that millions of human animals believe we do.
