For months the ranchers had laid the groundwork; grazing and exercising a select crop of half-tonne fighting bulls to be transported to arenas and festivals across the country. Then – just as Spain’s bullfighting season was set to kick off – the country was plunged into lockdown.
ashifa_k Lets hope so. Been to this show and thought it was despicable. Tradition? No. Barbary. What sort of people inflict cruelty to any animal? Oh yes....Spaniards and French. Tells a story.
I certainly hope so!
Well I think the Bulls are hopeing it does.
Good. It's long overdue!
It’s barbaric to abuse an animal for any reason but entertainment is the lowest of the low ShameOnSpain
Hopefully yes!
That would be good.
Bullfighting should have been banned decades ago. Shame on Spain
Hope so 🤞🏻
Psychopathic deranged people. They need to be stopped.!
Barbaric. It shouldn’t be still happening anyway.
Good things always come from bad.
Let’s hope so. Should have been banned years ago, it’s barbaric.
You can only hope.
Oh God let us hope so.
Hope so ugly practice
Would there ever be a better time to leave animals BE? For them AND for us, our world, our species.
Hope so. Every cloud and all that
Better the bull fighting than the matador
Hopefully. Animal torture, not a sport.
Hope so
It should.
Let’s hope so
Hopefully
Let’s hope so.
Espero que sí.
Good!
Let's hope so but I doubt it
Don't think so.
Fingers crossed.
Hopefully
I certainly hope so!
If conservative party(PP) gets back to power they´ll never allow it, even if all spaniards must starve to death
Let's bloody well hope so
Stop animal abuse now!
GOOD!
Let’s hope so 🤞🏼
I freaking hope so !!!!!
At least one good thing to come out of lockdown
WISHFUL THINKING it seems. Most Spaniards are indifferent to the PLIGHT of animals though PartidoPACMA has grown stronger in recent years. I don't understand why the Europarl_EN doesn't STEP IN.
If this is one industry wiped out by the virus then I applaud 👏👏👏 animal cruelty for entertainment has to be banned
Hopefully 🙏🙏
Yes please!
Yes please
We can hope so ....
I hope so.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really hope so. Bull Fighting is a barbaric sport and there's no place in the modern world for it.
It would be one good thing to come out if this mess
I have an interest in Spanish culture, but bullfighting is not one of those aspects. it needs to be outlawed for good
Absolutely barbaric sport. Should have been banned years ago.
I hope so...it should be banned, it is inhumane.
Don’t care
Hope so!!!
Wouldn’t that be something
Yes
With or without the new virus, the gov can just issue an order to shut that down permanently.
Hopefully!
I hope
No one cares
Silver linings
Good intelligent on topic question
Hopefully.
Hope so animal cruelty
🤞🏽
Hopefully
Hope so
That wouldn't be so bad... In fact animals would thank you for it....
Let’s hope so.
Without looking at the replies I'm expecting 100% agreement here.
Hopefully
Faux-humanitarian neo-Communists destroying culture and tradition yet again
bullfighting should be stopped forever, it is just a bully on animals, just because you have killing tools in hands.
Hope so
I hope ! 😍
We sure do hope so!
Yes, yes, yesssssss!!!!
We can only hope so.
Yes, please.
If ever the word 'industry' was used as a euphemism....
Let’s hope so, it’s cruel!
Every pandemic has a silver lining
You need to be a vege to condemn bullfighting. Otherwise it's hypocrisy.
Let’s hope so
Hope so.
Fingers crossed.
This pandemic goes until a year or more, try to get habituated all these....
Excellent
Please YES!
Hope it ends. It sickens and disgusts me
Once again ignorant people talking about another’s culture!
As opposed to bullfighting could be the death of the bull. justsaying
Here’s hoping so. It’s barbaric & unnecessary cruelty
Let's hope so, some good may come of this nightmare virus!!
Barbaric so called sport. Get this horrendous sport BANNED once and for all 😡
I hope so
Every cloud.....
I hope so.
It’s about time
Probably not, they love to torture animals. Fekkin Neanderthals...
good - humans are the most despicable, cruel animal on earth. Leave the animals alone
Here's hoping.
Wishful thinking. It is pushed by the rightwing as being an essential part of the Spanish identity. King Felipe and his simpering wife are often to be seen presiding over heavily subsidised bullfights, and any criticism is seen as treason. They won't go down without a fight.
Yes that would be wonderful, a positive from this pandemic. Free the bulls from this barbarity. Bulls suffer an agonising slow death. 🐂💔This pandemic should mean that humans change their entire relationship with other animals. Humans don't own nature they are part of it.
Hopefully
Bullfighting is not only bloody but also inappropriate because, during the modern times, we should protect the animals instead of taking them like idiots. It is quite likely that the coronavirus comes from a kind of animal in nature, hitting human beings by the transmission of it
Hopefully. It’s a backwards and barbaric “sport”
Bloody hope so!!! For good!!! Such a cruel event!
FakeNews will be the death of the Guardian though
Will definitely be a diaster for their tourist industry.
Yes!!
Hopefully yes....cruel and pointless !!
🤞🏼
Absolutely hoping.
Hopefully.
I really hope so.
I didn’t know bullfighting was still legal in Spain.
Hopefully
Sounds like a lot of bull to me
That would be awesome!
Sure hope so
Lets hope so, it'd be one of the few good things to come out of this.
I do hope so - it is an abomination
Hope so...
Toro-noooo!
Hopefully the end of this barbaric part of Spanish culture
I sincerely hope so ... barbaric so called ‘sport’ which should have been banned years ago ...
Every cloud....
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏!
Hopefully
Hope so!
lets hope so
Should be stopped.
Please 🤞
Oh please...🤞
Really really hope so!
Sincerely hope so
I hope so!
Let’s hope so!
Let's hope so.
