It's called tradition. It's a very important part of people's lives but it's something today's generation has no grasp of whatsoever. Bullfighting is a celebration of the ability to get a hold of food.

Considering there would be enough wheat in the world to bring bread down to a hidiously cheap price if they didn't deliberately destroy the stuff when its in excessI say let the Spanish have their tomato festival.

Joanna there are much better uses for THAT many tomatoes than sliding around in them like feeding starving people in Africa.

Spain is at least putting their passion for animal cruelty on public display. Here in the U.S. our children think a hamburger is just a fun meal with no harm to it and never know the pain and suffering it represents. Personally I'd like to see them slaughtering the cows right at the front door of where they are served. Hey to all You saying the tomatoe party is a waste get a sense of humor.

Dear Jen For years I have been periodically researching Ms.Caball'e alleged vegetarianism. She is not and I wish she was because she's an amazing vocalist and hefty. I hope you're right but a few years ago I was emailed from one of her websites with the NO answer.

I ALWAYS root for the bull whether it is in the running of the "fools" or in a bullfight. I say "ole!" to the bulls to gore someone. The more the better!
