Bullfighting

I root for the bull every time.

Bullfighting is abuse and very unneeded. All this for the merer enjoyment of cruel humans shows how uncivilized people really are.

good animal

good web

Bullfighting is a blood sport that involves matadors

Thank you

Olay!

It's too bad the animal's half dead when it comes out to "fight" the matador. I think it would take a lot more courage for the man to be facing a fresh, angry bull to even the odds a bit.

I'm glad the "civilized" Spanish are taking it out on the bulls rather than women & children who are Jewish, Native American, etc. as they loved to do in the past.

Having seen this live more than a few times, I have mixed feelings. 

Absolutely, it is animal abuse.  But equally absolutely there is a strong element of machismo, that is not easily understood by those of another culture.  And while we might justifiably deplore it, there is a fine courage, both in the matador and the bull.  It is simultaneously ugly and beautiful; brutal and elegant; ruthless and merciful.  I have never seen anything like it, and while part of me deplores it, another part extols it. 

I understand Hemingway's fascination.

"The right not to be treated exclusively as a menans to the ends of another (...) is a basic right, and it is different from all other rithts; it is a pre-legal righ in that it is a necessary prerequisite to the enjoyment of any other right".

Bullfighting is a blood sport that involves matadors who execute various formal moves performed at close range, (sometimes) concluding with the well-placed horn thrust up the ass of the matador as the finale.

Bullshit. I hate this, I love when the bull beats the crap out of stupid people

Unless its a bull you are using, there's not really much point.

nooooooooooooooo! whats its purpose?

A big part of Spanish culture, but humiliating and sometimes cruel to the animal. I dont think its right personally. Just as I dont like the "Running of The Bulls" they celebrate as well.

nah

HURTING ANY ANIMAL IN ANY WAY IS WRONGE!!!

booooooo

No a les "corridas". No al maltractament d'animals.

a la foguera!! sense pietat Pena de mort!

Each year, approximately 10,000 bulls die in bullfights, an inaccurate term for events in which there is very little competition between a nimble, sword-wielding matador (Spanish for killer) and a confused, maimed, psychologically tormented, and physically debilitated animal.

YEYE AW ACTUALLY THEY KILL THE POOR TOROS

A class act of wanton execution towards an animal forced to fight. Totally ugly.

Pure and unnecessary evil. Truly barbarian

Sorry, but I won't denegrate hundreds of years of Spanish or Latin culture with a holier than though attitude.

I am not a fan of the bullfight, but remember folks, different strokes for different folks. I am sure that the NFL or NHL or professional wrestling horrify many folks in the world who see nothing wrong with bullfighting. What about boxing?

It's better to give the bull a fighting chance in the ring than in the slaughterhouse.

mixed of course but the bull gets his chance to gore the matador at least even though it's an unfair fight with the picadors. Also these bull breeds were created for their fierce nature, if no bullfights what do we do with all these angry bulls? how about the ranchers that raise the bulls, what of them?

Horrible and barbaric. could never see one. torturing an animal to death is a sport?Will not even say what I would like to see what the bull does to the matadore. but I am rooting for the bull.what choice did the bull have to be thrust in this so called sport.? less than a one.

I think bullfighting is very harmful, to both the animal and the human.
Humans will get hurt when the bull has had enough, and turns on
them.

Canada has a point here. I think karma (meaning a horn stuffed up your behind) is a good thing here...
