Opinion paragraph.

I should not give my opinion about bullfighting because it should not exist, and even less in the XXI century. For me, it is a cruel way of amusement which just insensitive people can enjoy. It’s a cave-dwelling show in which the bullfighter tortures, hurts, bleeds and kills a living being. Those people who defend bullfighting assure that it is art and tradition but they know very well that it isn’t art or culture. Bullfighting is our national sport, so I have been wrong all my life because I thought that sport meant doing an activity with which you improve your physical skills. I have listened to this sentence many times: “Bulls are raised for this purpose, otherwise they would become extinct.” Then, to avoid the extinction of elephants, is it necessary “elefighting”?  People who love bullfighting admire the bullfighter because he risks his life. This is absolutely true, but only when he attacks the bull. It is an herbivorous animal, therefore it just defends itself when the bullfighter hurts him. It is very disappointing the fact that people who risk their lives, not for killing animals but for saving another people, don’t earn as much money as bullfighters do. Furthermore, nobody pays tickets to see them. It is said that bulls die “better” than another animals, however I say that being better than others who are worse is not being well. In conclusion, a country which needs to torture animals in order to have fun, it’s a country unable to feel compassion for anyone or anything. 

I respect the opinion of people who support bullfighting, but I don’t share it, and I never will.
