Do you learn everything by actually doing it firsthand? John McAfee learned some Bull-Fighting secrets

Well friends,
Yesterday when John McAfee went to see bull-fighting in Spain and tweeted some photographs of bulls and blind-folded horses being prepared for their last fight to death; his tweet drew a lot of flake.

I think we ought to oppose and criticize that what must be criticized and it was done rightly in this case.

And this criticism probably helped John McAfee to introspect and re-think about the sport of bull-fighting. However the reason he gave to attend bull-fighting wasn't very convincing to me.

He tweeted:
<center>![image.png](https://ipfs.busy.org/ipfs/QmXQkD8MhBBuaFHAci1b9iX5N3npGurTgBXp91F2RjNmud)
</center>

A seasoned businessman like McAfee putting forth this flawed logic that the business of bull-fighting exists irrespective of his few dollars worth admission ticket is so so naive!

All businesses survive because of their customer base. Every dollar customer spend on a business adds to their revenue and similarly every single consumer choosing not to support a business adversely impacts its bottom line. It's so simple and obvious! I can't believe McAfee not getting that! In fact, to me it appears that he is just trying to cling to some reasoning to justify his act in self-defense. 

But this set a wrong precedence to many of his followers who think that they have no control over these cruel and abusive industries and can't do anything about it. 

However, it seems John McAfee learned some important lessons about the brutality and barbaric nature of such events. He tweeted after attending the event:

>Yes. I got to feel, see and hear the real horror of the event. 
You cannot know what you have not met. 
I now know a bullfight.

However, I don't understand why a person need to go to an actual event to understand this!

I mean, seriously! Do one needs to rape someone to understand the crime of a rape? Or participate in witnessing some crime to get the feel of severity of that crime? Why so!

</center>

It's good to know that John McAfee finally learned something after this incident. Some people never do!

This has always been a very controversial thing!
In my country, Even small animals that are sold without care will also be accused.

I 100% agree with all your points! We vote with our dollars. If we choose to pay for something completely unnecessary like attending a bull fight, a horse race, or a rodeo, then we are directly supporting that practice. We have more power than we often give ourselves credit for, and I especially agree with your statement "this set a wrong precedence to many of his followers who think that they have no control over these cruel and abusive industries and can't do anything about it." Our dollars have power and our voices have power. Thank you for this post and I am glad to have found your account and will be following you!
