So what? I've been a vegetarian since 1978, but I'm lucid enough to know that the total amount of bulls that are killed every year in Spain are far fewer than all of the animals; cows, fowl, sheep, etc., that are inhumanely tortured, maimed, confined and killed every day in the USA. Nonetheless, that doesn't exonerate American consumers from being an accessory to crimes against animals in this country. So until things are changed in the US about the wholesale inhumane slaughter of animals, pointing the finger at Spain is nothing more than hypocrisy. Labor practices in PRC leave plenty of room for improvement, still, Americans look the other way when they shop for items that are manufactured by men, women and children under appalling conditions; has that stopped you from shopping? I doubt it. It's time for Americans to stop the finger-pointing at other societies, particularly with it's poor performance in civil rights for gay women and men. Give the Spanish credit for making strides in their society to the extent that a matador, a man's man has the freedom to advertise a product aimed at gays and doesn't become a target of hate as he would probably become if he was in the US. Meanwhile, the current US president is dancing jigs for the right-wing massuhs; afraid to stand up for the rights of ALL citizens. I'll take a matador with a pair of cojones over yet another régime that tells us to shut up and "wait until the time is right". kerry wrote:
