Last night on TV was footage from a village bullfight, where a blindfolded donkey was used as 'bait' in the bullring. Men were goading the bull to attack it. It had to just stand there and take it, because it couldn't see. It made me want to be sick, but the crowd were laughing.
I've heard of many instances of animal cruelty at village fiestas, and in everyday life. They seem to take pleasure from suffering, whereas the rest of us would just feel revulsion.
Do they not think this is cruel? Why not use something inanimate as a target?
A friend of mine told me that Catholics believe that animals don't have souls, and it's something to do with this. Is she right?
