Amie Keeley SPANISH state television has banned broadcasting bullfighting because it is ‘too violent for children.’

Ironically the broadcaster launched 51 years-ago with a live bullfight but since 2007 dropped all live fights, only showing censored, pre-recorded material.

Sad to hear this news, once again the Northern European PC brigade must be using its substantial “financial” muscle to control Spanish politics & culture!
A most excellent decision. This and the smoking ban.
