As long as they are not glorifying the killing of the animals. it's their choice! why not let them run with the Bulls. For that matter even if they were killing the animals. it's a different culture. They have a right to do as they see fit. Rights work both ways.

The entire event glorifies the senseless torture and slaughter of animals. I'm not a cultural relativist when it comes to basic decency. Animal cruelty is wrong. I don't believe anyone has a inalienable right to torture animals for the fun of it.
They do glorify the killing of the animals. If you didn't already know that, the article brings it up as well, but I thought this was common knowledge at this point.
Also, yes, it is the choice of those people, not the choice of the bulls, which is where the problem is. I don't get what rights you're referring to when you say rights work both ways. Are you concerned that someone will come in and shut down their celebration or something?
The point I was making is it's not up to us to decide. Sure it's brutal, bloody and something that you wouldn't want your kids to watch. "Rights work both ways" ! You have a right to objecte to the violence, of the killing or the animals. They have the right to do it . Sorry but they do.
