THE tax payer-funded Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) is all about producing/growing food and helping farmers/growers, right? Well, no. How many of our farming community or tax payers know or would support the fact that their money is going into breeding bulls in Spain, France and Portugal for the public entertainment of bull fighting? In some areas where the terrified bulls are forced to run through the streets taunted/baited by mobs of drunken youths, many from other parts of Europe including the UK.

The traumatised bulls are then put into the arena, where they are weakened by horsemen with lances, the horses blind folded and have vocal cords cut so they do not see the bulls or can cry out in pain if gored, then others with sharp sticks weaken the bull, then some so called brave matador prances around stabbing the bull even more which, having lost so much blood, is exhausted and often if not going down, others will join in. There has been pictures of up to six men dragging the terrified exhausted bull down, all to entertain a baying mob. This is 21st century Spain, the worst offender .

The PC liberal elite of the media do not like such facts being made public, claiming its all part of ethnic culture the excuse used by the pro bullfighting lobby to get CAP money, so sadly most of the tax payers who fund CAP think their money is going into an organisation with the sole purpose of the production of food and care of our farming community.
