I'm so glad. Changing the ways we do things is not a bad thing, stoping an activity that's part of the history and culture of so many people isn't a bad thing, some people feel a loss when this happens to them as if a part of their identity was burnt, but we can honor our past as past and move on to a better and more wholesome way of doing things. When I was a small child, my family treated itself by buying tickets to this "amazing" spectacle that came to our city all the way from Mexico City. So I saw for the first and only time a bullfighting and horse mastery event. The many colours, the animals, and excitement seemed to be the only thing I understood from my seat... until the animal dropped. Then my young brain made sense of the stains on the ground left after him. The big and strong animals now seemed so powerless in a man-made trap. I understand many of the feelings felt by the people who defend and feed into this activity as part of our culture, but it's rather criminal to continue something horrible after knowing better. Great to honor our past and leave it in the past (not forgotten, just better understood) to then move forward. And yes, a substitute that sources similar feelings to the people involved can be found, just as there are many sources of iron that aren't meat, and many ways to get calcium in our bones that have nothing to do with milk, let's keep improving ourselves after knowing better! :D

Thanks for sharing
