What do you think of bullfighting?

Some people support bullfighting because they think it is a sport and spectacle and it is part of Spain’s cultural identity. But I don’t agree with them. I think bullfighting is an example of animal cruelty.
It is very easy to understand why bullfighting should be banned. Close your eyes. Imagine a ring plenty of people waiting and enjoying with the death of a bull, a slow and painful death. Do you thing this is natural?
But bulls are not the only animals that suffer in bull rings. The horses used in bullfights suffer a lot and sometimes are injured.
Also, bullfigthing is very dangerous for the matador, is traditionally a male sport and a lot of money is necessary to set up a bullfight.
What is more, it is important to consider the implications that bullfighting have with children. Most parents are worried with the violence that appears in movies and video games. So, we can’t imagine or tolerate a child watching the torture of the bull before its death.
Although governments are happy because bullfighting attracts tourists and money, I believe that bullfighting must be banned because animals can’t be killed for entertainment.
