Tauromachy isn't "bullfighting". It's circus and drama; it's adjacent to religious sacrifice (rather, than, as some seem to think, betting on dogfights). But it's not religion either.

Animals have to die. The bulls in tauromachy are of a special type that's bred out in the open; they live lives that no other bovine lives -- not even in India, where sacred cows are still beasts of burden.

There's a kind of carefree righteous kind of person that reacts at events rather than systems. So they're agitated by the bloodshed of bulls or tiktoks of cobalt mining in Africa agitates them, and this makes them good people. Isn't it good to be a good person?

I don't quite know where you're going with this. Are you saying killing those bulls is okay if it's for circus and drama, and those bulls live a few nice years before being hunted through the streets and stabbed to death, because animals die all the time anyway?

There's a kind of carefree righteous kind of person that thinks they are reacting at events rather than systems. So they're agitated by other perspectives than their own, because they alone can see how the world works, and this automatically makes them good people. Isn't it good to be a good person?
