Should the government ban cultural ceremonies that involve the killing of animals for entertainment?
Every year about 60,000 animals are killed during religious festivals in Spain. In one example, the the Andalusian government banned the throwing of a live turkey from a church tower. The practice continues every year after the villagers collectively pay a €2,000 fine. Proponents argue that the festivals should continue to have legal protection because they are an integral part of Spanish culture and are a big draw for international tourists. Opponents argue that the killing of animals should be banned since the ceremonies often involve the torturing of animals.

Deberían evolucionar estas ceremonias, usando animales pero sin la necesidad de matarlos
@9CWQ7LD8mos8MO
No del todo pero,Deberían adaptarse a nuestros sin perjudicar a los animales ni mostrar acciones vialentas

Los toros se deben permitir si no matan al toro
@8TPRPLV3yrs3Y
Permitir la ceremonia, pero prohibir matar al animal.

If they have money to have this animals in stead of kill them yes, but we don’t have the money so I don’t care a lot

@9BLGWJW11mos11MO
no but there should be a limit on the amount of animals killed
@9B826QZ12mos12MO
If the animal is killed humanely, then yes, if not, no
@8PWXW4S12mos12MO
No, Unless the animal is endangered
@99SRVYZ1yr1Y
Yes, but this does not represent a priority, there are way bigger issues.
@99RNSMM1yr1Y
Depending on the animals endangerment status.
@99GLWY71yr1Y
Yes, these cultural ceremonies can change and develop overtime, to where the animal is treated better
@97NN2CJ1yr1Y
Yes, but with exceptions/limitations. For example if the animals they are using are sick or extremely old, in a similar way to putting an animal down.
The goverment should stop subsidizing it and let the market decide
@95SMYBM1yr1Y
If it is for fun then ban it if not then don’t
@95SDJNJ1yr1Y
Yes, but animal cruelty in food production needs to be regulated as well
@92HD4BXCiudadanos2yrs2Y
Yes, but giving options to make ends meet to the people in the industry
@8WGMPWCCiudadanos2yrs2Y
No, but it should modify the practice
