I completely agree. I don't understand why you guys are so for it, does it really affect you that much that they are banning it? It's tradition but it's not right, can you imagine someone stabbing your snake or lizard torturing it and a bunch of ppl watching and enjoying the whole "show"? Granted pets and bulls might be different, but they are all animals and they feel pain. It breaks my heart that we care so much more for our pets than any other animals, but I guess we are selfish creatures...
