How is bullfighting a reflection of the Spanish culture's attitude toward life and death?
No punches pulled here. The so-called sport is a massed exercise in sadism and blood lust and cannot be compared to fair play in , for example Baseball. The animal has no chance of survival and (can one blame him) will try to defend himself. I understand some matadors and matadoras(yes there are female bull fighters. Carry concealed weapons Usually spring-loaded switchblade knives if as they would say(things get out of hand) and they lose their Espada (Spanish word for Big Sword) Lose the big blade and your are still in the game with a trusty switchblade in the inside pocket.There are other Spanish pastimes with blood red tones of sadism-cockfighting for one, other staged animal battles, and even the Pinata which implies killing a captive bird with spears or similar primitive weapons- like something considered barbarous in (Jungle land) movies or shows. Bravo indeed! Killing a defenseless animal for audience appeal, it should not be allowed. Bardot was right. Meow! Kids have a natural ( I speak not of basby Goats) love and nurturing or animals, many instinctively feel hunting (even though the animal has a sporting chance and the hunting action is seasonal, not year-round. The natural love of animals among children is cruelly perverted by (sports) such as Bull Fights. End the insane Cattle battle!
