To Lemmeout:

No, technically, you didn't say those things. But your judgemental, holier-than-thou attitude seeps through your words. I posted a question to ask for a specific answer. If you didn't have an answer, you had the option of not responding. Instead, you got on the high horse to inject an answer that had nothing to do with my question. So you eat meat, and you eat free-range chicken to reduce the stress on the animal. Great! How compassionate! But I bet it's not good enough in the eyes of the vegetarians or those those who objects to meat-eating on moral ground, which was my point of using that as an example. Take your unsolicited opinion to other branches where it belongs.

Hey. Madridman, thanks again for taking time to provide very thorough answers.

Its really simple. If you go to see a bullfight you are a supporter of torturing an animal. If you eat Gyros, steaks, hamburgers etc... you are eating. You can be vegetarian or not. That doesn´t matter but only humans can be so stupid and cruel to kill and torture animals for their pleasure. It might be a tradition in Spain and there is nothing wrong about it. Now its a tourist atraction and more bulls suffer because some stupid tourists wants to have their mass ecitement about travelling. Emotions...., and more emotions!!!! Pictures...video...cool. The circus of Rome 2000 years ago was quite similar!

To #1 poster Karen and others who are interested in knowing the process of buying a ticket online:

We successfully bought two tickets through the bullfightticketmadrid.com site. The process asked you where you would like to have the ticket delivered: the hotel, or pick up at a Galicia office (and I forgot the third option). We opted to have the tickets delivered to our hostal (there is a place to fill in the hotel's name, address and your arirval date). At the end of the process, it displays your order number, your credit card number (with numbers masked except the last four digits), etc. but not much else informaiton, which you can print as a proof of your purchase. I wish the site had offered more information such as the date of the bullfight, the seat selection, the credit card holder's name, etc. on the confirmation page, but that was not the case. I just hope there will be no glitches for us in getting the actual tickets.
