POR QUE LA UNESCO NO DECLARE LOS TOROS PATRIMONIO DE LA HUMANIDAD

Dear Sir,

Please do not use public funds to protect bullfighting. Spain seems like a wonderful place to visit. I would like to go someday to see my Spanish friends in Barcelona. Spain houses some of the most beautiful artworks in the world and has spawned some of the greatest artists and architecture the world has ever known. Spain is truly a mecca of beauty and culture except for bullfighting.

When I think of the cruelty involved in bullfighting, I want to boycott any country that engages in such a barbaric, backwards practice. Bullfighting isn't even fair. The bull never has a chance. As a sport, it sucks. Bullfighting drags the lovely image of Spain down into the gore and mud.

Please set an example for the world by leaving behind the ugliness and brutality of the past. Just as Rome no longer pits lions against Christians in its Coliseum, Spain should no longer pit wounded bulls against humans in its ampitheatres. Let's move into the twenty-first century, please.
