chucking goats off church towers, drowning bulls, bull fights...
Have you ever witnessed them jabbing the bulls prior to a bull run - with a metal spear - to make the bull angry!!! I guess not...
Spanish families sometimes have more than one home - one in the city and one in the countryside - during the winter months they live permanently in the city - but leave the dogs to guard the house alone.. just going to feed them every few days...
Shall I continue?
Chickens hung upside down from a line and hit with a lump of wood til they are decapitated???
I'm not be sancitmonious - but they do all of the above in the honour of tradition!!

I agree with Nosha. The Spanish are cruel - they torture the bull before the fight - and they do leave their dogs to guard their second homes and fend for themselves often for very long periods of time. Maybe that isn't apparent in the built up areas occupied by ex-pats, but go into the mountains and you can't miss it.
Nosha....I take your point......but there are others ways to show cruelty to animals other than hanging chickens upside down and leaving dogs tied up all day.
How about the "dog fighting" the abandonment of puppies and kittens after Christmas, Battersea Dogs home "puts down" over a thousand abandoned dogs a week, the Police dog handler who let two of his dogs die of hyperthermia in his car.....and so on and so on.

the family I know would go to the country house once a week to feed their Alsation.. who lived outside guarding the house. He was their pet - and lived with them in the house when they were there in the summer.. but I never figured out how a dog would be able to ration his food to last him a whole week... poor thing!

Sqad I agree there are many ways of abusing animals.. and am a true and avid animal lover.. I cant even bring myself to read some threads on here that have the opening line "I cant believe this poor animal.. etc etc"
We as Brits are known as a race of animal lovers - but obviously thhere are many thousands of people who are sickeningly cruel - and if I could I would wipe them all out...
My point was - that a nation actually support the traditions like in Spain just because they always have - and they seem to enjoy the blood sport. Similar to the fox hunting and badger baiting we have here in the UK.
Neither are right and both sicken me... but the Spanish have historically had a bit of a reputation for a lack of compassion to animals.... as do other nations...

aaah Naomi thats lovely you feed them!
My mum feeds the stray cats where she is - and also tries to trap them and get the females spayed - so they cant keep getting pregnant.. the strays are always born ill and sickly and dont live very long - plus they are quite inbred so have genetic defects etc...
Costs her a small fortune in cat food - but she gets a special voucher for spaying from a charity
