Animal cruelty

This article completely misses the animal cruelty angle.

So-called "bullfighting" is a cruel and barbaric practice that should be outlawed - and will be in time by pressure from animal rights activists. The whole thing is rigged and the bull does not stand a chance. Instead it's taunted and stabbed with spears until it dies.

This is not a sport, it's murder and a sick activity. especially in today's day and age.

The Register should not promote stuff like this.
