""Bullfighting doesn't sustain itself, it's sustained by public funds," he stated, asking that these resources be allocated "to creation, not cruelty.""
"Etna Estrems argued that "culture evolves" and that "it can't be culture to see a living being bleeding to death in a bullring.""
""It's Not My Culture""
Spanish lawmakers in the Lower House rejected a petition titled "It's Not My Culture" that sought to remove bullfighting from cultural-heritage protections. The proposal gathered nearly 665,000 signatures but received 57 votes in favour, 169 against and 118 abstentions, including those of the ruling PSOE, which halted its processing. The initiative aimed to repeal Law 18/2013 and return authority to regional governments after the 2013 regulation overturned Catalonia's 2010 ban and the Balearic 2018 restriction on killing bulls in rings. Critics called bullfighting "institutionalised cruelty" and urged redirecting public funds to cultural creation rather than cruelty; several left-wing parties defended the repeal on animal-rights and modern-society grounds.
