No Bull-Fighting for Obama Tour

(Nairobi, Kenya) The "Obama Circuit" tour of the president-elect's ancestral home will not include bull-fighting.

Bull-fighting is popular in western Kenya, where Barack Obama's paternal family is from, but no such event before this had previously been organised in the capital, Nairobi.

Nairobi provincial commissioner James Waweru went on television to announce the last-minute cancellation, arguing the city lacked the appropriate facilities to stage the bull-fighting contest.

The plan to bring fighting bulls to Nairobi's Kasarani stadium caused an outcry from animal rights activists but the organisers charged the government scrapped the event for fear it would bring Mr Obama bad publicity.

Commissioner Waweru is presumably disingenuous since facilities are not a problem. Obviously, the bull-fighting was cancelled because of political correctness.

Honestly, this confuses me since I thought we are all supposed to be multicultural and tolerant. It's their culture in Kenya, we should accept it.
