Madrid, Spain has declared bullfighting a protected art form, and other regions have followed suit.

Esperanza Aguirre, head of the conservative regional government in Madrid, announced the bullfight (the corrida) would be put on the list of items of “special cultural value” that were protected by law.

This special status gives bullfighting organizers tax breaks and could bring charges against those who would try to stop bullfights for”damaging cultural heritage.”

Exploiting others to death for the sake of art.  How civilized.

It is a slow, agonising death – as the high acidity of their blood proves. – veterinarian Jose Zaldivar
