Bullfighting: The Folklore that Continuously Disunites Opinions

The art of Bullfighting can be traced as far back as a couple of thousands of years ago, yet many people argue that it should not be practiced as part of Spanish folklore in light of the worldwide call for serious animal preservation. Regardless of all the disapproval being thrown against it, bullfighting is continuously held in greater parts of Spain with numerous events that usually take place every summer. While some look at it as brutality to bulls, letting bulls and humans fight their lights out until one is dead and the other is proclaimed the winner, locals see it merely as a centuries-old tradition that defines the Spanish way of life.

I have been to a bullring recently, and I can not possibly explain the agitation and the fun that can be found in the stadium as the bulls go after each other with their trainers donning vivid costumes. It was a very whimsical show that can not equal just about any sport, may it be played by humans or animals, based on the deafening cheers from the tumultuous crowd. A bullfight is definitely a fascinating sight that any accustomed local would continuously look forward to every season and any visiting traveler would seek out for to experience Spain in its entirety.
