Opinion paragraph: bullfighting, the shame of Spain.

Today's post is going to be about the topic "bullfighting".
My position regarding this costum, that some people consider "art", is totally against it. I´m not able to understand why people like it, why they don't think it is absolutely rude and disgusting. I can't find anything positive or amusing in watching a man that is paid a lot of money and laureate as a hero for torturing a poor bull until its death.
Many people, who defend bullfighting, says that it is an antique costume and a way of art that represents Spain all over the world. But being realistics, bullfighting can't be considered art; we can find art in a painting, in a sculpture, in a movie, in a picture or in a building but not in the torture of an animal that isn't able to choose its destiny. Another usual argument that is used by bullfighting lovers is that bulls are raised just for bullfighting, pointing out that bulls need bullfighting to exist and that thanks to it they aren't extinct.
For all these reasons and to sum up, as far as I am concerned, innocent animals like bulls don´t deserve a life marked by the destiny of being tortured and killed until death just for the amusement of a bunch of insensitive people. I don't support the idea that says this "sport" represents our country, our costumes or our way of life, and I really don't want to be associated with it.
