The decision to end the tragic sport of bullfighting, though in Spain, is most welcome (Sept. 26). How can it be called a sport when it's a case of pain and agony for the poor animal?

Hunting and humiliating animals continue to be in vogue in one form or the other, including in circuses. In the world-famous Mysore Dasara , for instance, a caparisoned elephant is made to carry a gold howdah that weighs a whopping 750 kg and walk in a long procession with other elephants. Can't the howdah be placed on a well-decorated truck and taken out in a procession with the elephants?
