In this podcast episode, we’re examining bullfighting as a cultural institution, an economic system, and a business model – while critically exploring its ethical, psychological, and societal implications in Spain and Latin America.

This episode is focusing on how bullfighting is historically framed as ‘culture’, ‘history’, ‘identity’, ‘sports’ and ‘art’ – while operating as a commercial industry that systematically inflicts suffering on animals for entertainment and profit.

I’m unpacking the origins of bullfighting, the power structures that sustain it, the financial incentives behind its preservation, and the growing resistance movements that are challenging its legitimacy on moral, legal, and economic grounds.

You’re invited to reflect on how traditions are protected, how violence is normalized through language and spectacle, and how business interests influence public narratives about culture and identity.

This episode is not about condemnation for its own sake; it’s about developing ethical literacy, critical thinking, and socially responsible decision-making in business and beyond.

Goddess, what do you to ensure that your actions are socially responsible?
