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.
No reason to say "sorry" for a thing I'm already aware of. Again, no one is coming to take away their culture. The most we can do is choose not to give money or attention to it and hope they change to cater to where the money is. Last time I came across this subject that seemed to be the trend anyway.
The only exception is if they're already in some sort of agreement for being in the EU that prevents animal abuse, in that case then the whole thing seems kind of silly, but since no one in these articles ever brings that up I'm going to assume the EU does not have some sort of animal cruelty laws they expect member nations to follow.
