Here I go:
1. Have you ever been to a bull fight?
Yes, once or twice.
2. How old were you when you went to a bull fight?
Uhh, 15 years-old more or less.
3. What is your opinion of bull fights?
I simply don't like them, not because I think they are cruel, just don't like them. I think it has most of art, and less of a bloody spectacle.
4. How common are bull fights?
Quite common in certain seasons of the year (March to August more or less).
5. Are modern bullfights different in anyway from the historical bull fights?
I don't know, but they are quite ancient (at least some centuries old).
6. Do you believe a bull fight can be interpreted as being artistic?
Yes, without doubt.
7. Do you believe that someone who has not grown up with bull fighting can truly appreciate a bull fight like someone from a culture that embraces bull fighting?
Yes. I have forgein family and they appreciate it even more than my family.
8. How common is it for a bull to be pardoned?
Not very common. A bull (as far as I know) is only pardoned if it demonstrates a superb quality (bravery).
9. I have read of people in Spain wanting to ban bull fights. What are your thoughts on this?
I think that my country has graver problems not to wonder for bullfighting. I don't care if a hundred bulls die in plazas every year. They serve as food and, if not for bullfighting, their race would have extinguished.
10. How common are bull fight protests?
Fairly uncommon. The majority of the people don't care about it.
11. Do you think banning bull fights would influence Spanish culture?
No, it is a very small part of spanish culture. But I wouldn't ban it.
12. Do you believe witnessing a violent movie is as bad as viewing a bull fight?
Why is witnessing a movie or viewing a bull fight bad? Do someone thinks that spectators are going to bull-fight people in the streets?
Sincerly, I don't think either of them are negative or make people more violent. People who truely like bull-fighting don't like to see the bull suffer more than necessary.
Just my thoughts...
