The owl's take

A very clear verdict: 90 % want bullfighting banned, against 10 % who oppose a ban. Not a single voter takes refuge in having no opinion.

Women are unanimously in favour of the ban. Men also support it widely, but supply the entirety of the opposition: the day's only profile gap alongside age.

By age bracket, agreement is total among the 18-24s, the 25-34s, the 45-54s and the 55-64s. Only the over-65s split in two: the generation closest to the tradition is the only one to hesitate.

The debate runs entirely with the vote, and it is remarkably well documented. The core argument is simple: bullfighting rests on the suffering and killing of an animal for entertainment, and a tradition does not justify a living creature's suffering.

One voice moves the discussion onto legal ground and recalls what makes the practice singular: wounding and killing an animal constitutes acts of cruelty under the penal code, yet benefits from an exception tied to local tradition. It also cites the position of the veterinary profession's governing body, for whom this animal suffering is avoidable.

The rest of the thread is blunter, saying it is pointless, it is cruel and nobody understands the appeal of watching such a spectacle, and that is where most of the support gathers. The opposing camp sent nobody to argue: in this round, contradiction exists only in the ballot.
