A few years back, some money grubber tried to arrange a bullfight in our own Southwest.
I think it happened, but not sure.
Outrageous cruelty!

Posted on February 13, 2011 at 5:56pmDoes anybody else find themselves rooting for the bull? I sure do. I hate this sport, if you can call it that. I know to the Spaniards it a past time or something and I wouldn’t want to stop them from doing it, I just don’t like it. I mean if you are going to kill the damn thing, do it and do it quickly already so I can eat it.

Posted on February 13, 2011 at 5:45pmNo pity here. You get in a ring to fight an animal to the death then you take your goring like a man. I think they are all a bunch of pansies for ganging up on the thing. It’s like any duel. you can’t hate the other guy for shooting you. I’ve seen worse. Same for rodeos.

Posted on February 13, 2011 at 5:42pmDon’t stab and or otherwise weaken the bull.
Train the bull to use swords.
Then pit them against one another. That‘s as close as you’d get to sport.
bull fights are just torture and murder.

What do you have against cow-meat? There are places in mexico that whenever they kill a bull in the ring it is given to the poor to eat. That seems like a fitting end to a bulls life.

Posted on February 13, 2011 at 5:53pmScrew you guys, hoping for the matador’s recovery – I wish the bull had the chance to gore every single one of them.
This wasn’t some rodeo – this was a bullfight. The whole point is to torture the bull with spears and cuts while putting on a show for the crowd. Once the bull runs out of energy from the brutality, or simply bleeds out to the point they are exhausted, they kill it, right there on the spot in front of the crowd.
Condoning this is the same as condoning dog fights or **** fights, except that the bull in the ring has no chance of surviving another day.

I say let them fight the bull withour any spears or swords. Just see who wears down first. Make it more interesting.

This is an cruel and idiotic “sport”….I have no problems killing animals for food or even hides or antlers…but the object should be a quick humane kill. Taunting the poor beast and jabbing it with little spears while the bloodthirsty crowd cheers you on….if this is how you get your rocks off your sick.

Posted on February 13, 2011 at 9:39pmBigotry towards another cultures tradition is so childish. It is quite acceptable to say “Hey we do not want that here”. It is not ok to say “They should not practice that there”. The left and the right tend to fail utterly in this simple test of belief in liberty.
2nd animals are a resource. Man is not an animal. Man is set above the animals as a steward. There may be good and bad stewardship of this resource, but it is their resource not yours.
3rd When it is one on one and done correctly bull fighting is not a fair fight. The odds favor the bull 20 to 1 if you match a standard human to standard bull. It is only the talent and skill that allows an exceptional man to take down a bull with a scrap of flashy cloth and a pointy stick. Don’t agree? Obviously you have never been face to face (on the same side of the fence) with a pissed off bull. I have. They are powerful fast, and merciless, as they should be.
Our society has robbed it self of our test of man hood and right of passage. It disgusts me that we seek to rob other cultures of what little remnants they have left of theirs. the second largest problem with the USA is there are no more men or women. They were sacrificed on the alter of political correctness. Now we are but a nation of boys and girls, mere shadows of our ancestors.
