The word "tradition" has been used worldwide to legitimize inhumane behavior, towards both animals and humans. It's time to prove yourself human. I love Portugal and the Portuguese people....I married one. There is so much to be proud of....the discoveries, fado, a carnation revolution....the Portuguese people have the strength of character to set the example for other countries. The English banned fox hunting.....it's time for Portugal to take the bull by the horns and continue aspiring to greater heights!
