Bullfighting in Spain often kills people. Why do so many people like it?

Because Spanish bullfighting is a national quintessence and a traditional Spanish culture, which is quite famous all over the world, it is impossible to cancel it casually as a historical traditional culture. It represents the culture and spirit of Spanish knights, not the so-called cruelty. Although it is very dangerous, in order to challenge the national courage and good fighting ability, it has been preserved, and the Spanish bullfighting has also attracted many tourists to visit Spain. After all, people always come to Spain to watch a bullfight.

As we all know, every country has its own cultural customs, and some cultures have become the quintessence of China, such as Peking Opera in China and Sumo in Japan, such as the Songkran Festival in Southeast Asia, which have become the business cards of traditional customs in various countries. When it comes to Spain, many people should think of bullfighting, which is their cultural custom and has a long history. But with the development of the times, many people think that bullfighting should be cancelled. Why do you say that? The reason is that bullfighting is too cruel. Those cows have been sparring since childhood and will eventually be killed. It is also a very dangerous activity for knights. Either the cow is dead or the man is dead.

But there are still some reasons why Spanish bullfighting can be preserved until now. First of all, this is a long-standing traditional cultural custom, not to say that it can be cancelled. To cancel, first of all, the Spanish people don't agree with it, just like some of our traditional cultural customs can't be cancelled casually now, even if they are considered bad habits by other countries, Spain doesn't think so. The point is that their real purpose is not to kill cattle. But to cultivate a person's brave spirit, because in ancient times, we wanted to cultivate knights' brave and fighting spirit, and we didn't want them to feel afraid on the battlefield. This starting point is good.

For Spain, if it is cancelled, the whole country will lose its soul, because most people who travel to Spain will inevitably watch a bullfight, which has become a business card of Spain, so Spain's economy can also be driven by tourism. If it is cancelled, Spain will feel something is missing, just as we can't cancel Beijing Opera and Mid-Autumn Festival. After all, bullfighting is too important for Spain.
