The skill of the picador as he controlled his horse with only his legs while holding and placing the pics -- a horse without a blindfold in a ring with a fighting bull is one skittish animal as you could imagine -- well what can anyone say. And the rejoneador placed his lance perfectly, resulting in an instant kill that brought me to my feet.
But hundreds of riders randomly stabbing at a bull with lances until it is brought to its knees? No thanks. A bad bullfight is a painful thing to witness.
I leave it to the Spanish, or the citizens of any other country, to decide whether or not the fiesta de toros is consistent with their modern sensibilities.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: it might have been in Pamplona that a foreign visitor was enjoying a meal in a local restaurant. He saw, and smelled, a succulent dish being brought to a fellow diner.
"Excuse me, but what is that dish that gentleman is enjoying?"
"Ah, senor, it is the, how you say, cojones of the bull, his testiclulos, how you say, the balls."
"I'd like some of that!"
"Lo siento, except we only get one dish of them each day. But come back tomorrow, we will save them for you."
The next day the visitor entered the restaurant expectantly and ordered the dish. But what came out was a tiny plate with a couple of foul-smelling things the size of quail's eggs.
"Say, what are these? I ordered the bull balls!"
"Ay, senor, lo siento, is that, bueno, today, the bull...he win."
That’s actually a joke.

If the Spanish have decided this is something they don't want anymore, then they can get rid of it.

If you ask me, it's a non-issue compared to the fact that we can't even get a non-babysitter government (look at the results of the April General elections) and the fact that renting rooms is ridiculously expensive...

Yeah, might as well get a non-issue (comparatively) out of the way first while...
The economy is in shambles (although not as much as in 2011, to be fair), our government isn't even a proper one, people are getting pissed off with the whole "two elections in the same year" kinda thing (reminder that the INE website did crash because of people trying to be free from political propaganda from our parties), the fact that our politicians are corrupt as fuck and practically nobody bats an eye... and so on.
Nope, let's focus on shit like digging the grave of a random Ferrolan dude who died 40 years ago, who has literally got little impact (compared to, say, 45 years ago) on today's politics.
And I'm pretty sure you've already heard of this whole shabang because you're most likely a Spaniard as well (as you have hinted previously).
And, hey, if you really want bullfighting gone, I suggest it gets replaced with the Galician (yes, we exist) festivity of "Rapa das Bestas" (which is about cutting a horse's hair, unlike what some of you might think it is about), while we're at it.

There’s no winning there. You have to pick the battles you can win. Don’t fight the ones you can’t.
I will never understand this idea, that death absolves a person.Also, uh... gravedigging is gravedigging, no matter how you put it. Guy's already dead, damage has been done and practically reverted, just fucking leave 'im alone!
(and before you accuse me of being a "fash", lemme tell you that I wouldn't advocate for digging Carrillo's grave, nor Caballero's)
