Why do Spaniards like bullfighting have any historical reasons?

Bullfighting is a national custom that has remained in Spain for many years.

"Spanish bullfighting", originated from the ancient Spanish religious activities (kill the bull for the gods sacrifice).

In the 13th century, King Alfonso X of Spain began this sacrifice to the gods evolved into a bullfighting show (the real bullfighting show in the middle of the 18th century).

Nowadays, there are more than 300 bullfighting rings in Spain (the largest is the Ventas bullring in Madrid, with a capacity of 25,000 people).

The Spanish bullfighting festival is held from March to November every year, usually on Sundays and Thursdays (using purebred African bulls weighing 4,000 kilograms).

Bullfighting is spectacular and brutal.

People are cruel to bulls and bulls are cruel to people.

Spain kills about 50,000 bulls a year, and in 300 years of bullfighting history, more than 40 of the 125 famous main bullfighters have died by the horns.

There is an international debate about bullfighting, and one in Spain.

Most people believe that bullfighting is a national custom that has remained in Spain for many years and should not be outlawed.

But there are a few people, especially animal protection organizations, who advocate outlawing bullfighting.

It is said that within the Spanish royal family, some people like to watch bullfighting, and others do not.

King Carlos I and the Queen do not like to watch bullfighting, and the former Spanish Prime Minister Asnar does not like bullfighting, never involved in bullfighting.

Not long ago, there was news that the city of Barcelona, Spain's second largest city, *** was planning to enact a decree to make bullfighting, a bloody recreational activity, disappear completely in "a few years", but the motion was strongly opposed by the local bullfighting federation and other organizations as soon as it appeared in the press.

Because bullfighting is not only a traditional Spanish custom, many people rely on bullfighting to make a living, and the abolition of bullfighting, is not to smash countless rice bowls? It seems that the Spaniards, who have been fighting bulls for hundreds of years, will continue to fight bulls in the future.
