HEMINGWAY WAS A WONDERFUL AND TALENTED WRITER. I NEVER READ THIS BOOK BUT I HEARD IT WAS INTERESTING ALTHOUGH I DETEST THE IDEA OF KILLING ANIMALS FORVSPORT.

Mel,
Not just bullfighting, he was a keen game hunter in Africa and a sports fisherman.
It was a different age, I am loath to judge.

Coo, I’m grateful that we are more enlightened today and more aware of the right to life in other species other than ourselves.

Tom, Absolutely correct, It may be repulsive to our "modern sensibilities" but as you say we shouldn't judge.

Hemingway also lived in Malaga, Spain for quite a time.

What a wonderful subject to write about -NOT!! How that can be classed as a sport I have no idea, it should be universally banned.

Tom, No matter what age it is ...killing for sport is wrong. Don't think that is judging. It's a fact.
