Is Torture Cultural? Half a Million Spaniards Say No

Madrid, España. In the heart of Spain, a quiet revolution is unfolding. More than half a million people have signed a petition to strip bullfighting of its status as cultural heritage, a designation it has held since 2013. The initiative, aptly named "No Es Mi Cultura" (“It’s not my culture”), has become a rallying cry for a nation increasingly uncomfortable with the spectacle of blood and suffering. But this is more than a campaign against bullfighting; it is a referendum on what kind of society Spain wants to be.
