During bullfights, animals are usually brutally stabbed to death by matadors and left to die in agony and fear in the ring. It's definitely not appropriate programming for children.
The government of Spain has approved bullfighting to be shown on national broadcast television during family viewing hours. After the broadcaster showed scenes from a bullfight in September, a group of opposition parties were attempting to ban the practice to protect kids from the scenes of animal violence.
But no dice -- the government has given the broadcaster its blessing to show the elongate d torture scenes, which can involve waiting 20 minutes for a bull to slowly bleed to death.
