This is an interesting 5-minute video about the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. You will see up close what the Running of the Bulls is like.
WARNING: The bull dies in the video. If you are uncomfortable seeing the bull die, or seeing blood, do not watch the video.
There is controversy as to whether people think bullfighting should continue. Many people believe it is cruel and would like it to stop. Regardless, it it a practice that has existed in some form since 2000 B.C.

What do you think? Should bullfighting be allowed to continue, or should it be stopped?
Wow. I understand now why it is controversial. Its both dangerous but at the same time it is treated as a tradition. Was wondering what it would be like to visit the bullfighting. Very interesting. I think it should be continued since it is a part of tradition that lasts for so long:) (Andrea 1st period)
ResponderBorrarIt was cool to see the Spanish traditions of running and fighting with the bull(s). But in my opinion I would never ever ever do it. I dont understand why people risk there lives to do this. I dont understand why people would pay money to watch the animal be killed or even the human. (Riley Monan Period 2)
ResponderBorrarI don't think that bull fighting should be a thing because it is like dog fighting. You pay to watch animals die for your entertainment. But the running of the bulls looks like a great festival and I know some people have done it for years because of tradition and what has just been done to celebrate.

I think bullfighting is terrible and should not be allowed. Its dangerous for the bulls and the people. It may be fun in and exciting but it wont be anymore when your in the emergency room. Plus they are hurting an innocent animal and I think its animal cruelty

This should not be legal.The bulls do not get to choose whether or not they want to die.

Personally, I don't think bullfighting should be allowed. Despite the fact that it is entertaining, either the bull or the human will be the ones getting hurt. Even though animals aren't considered human. That doesn't mean that they don't deserve proper treatment. Like humans, animals strive to survive and as people we should respect that. When it comes to entertainment, many people may argue that it is according traditions but that shouldn't be the case. If it isn't safe and if a living person or animal gets harm then why should the tradition continue?

Bull Fighting should still continue but more safety pre cautions need to be implemented. Trevor Aspon P.1
ResponderBorraris this causing the animal any stress in any way? Because I would assume so.
ResponderBorrarI thought the video was cool, but I still don't understand why they have to kill the bull, the volume on my chrome book isn't working so I don't know if they said anything about it -Kilian Craig period 5
ResponderBorrarThis was a really cool video, I was always fascinated with bullfighting in Spain. Ian Harris p6
