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.

You make a good point. I'm not saying I'm for it. But I'm not saying I'm against it either. if that's normal in your culture. There are a lot of things that go on in this world that I disagree with. Sometimes it's just not my right to disagree.
I agree with what you're saying just its not my place to say you can't do that.

That's self-evident. Yet, bringing international attention to the cruelty involved in this will apply pressure to Spain and maybe could change their mind. Plus, it's not like there aren't plenty of Spanish people opposed to this at well. There are protests every year.
Not that impositions of culture are a new thing, but I think as nations, markets, media, and everything else globalize, cultural relativism is a thing that people are going to have to start taking sides on. Which is unfortunate, because I don't really know where I stand either.
