“Apparently it iOS done in parts of Spain, not Italy. Truly disgusting.”

Spain. That doesn’t surprise me. From the folks who brought us the Inquisition and the auto de fe.

“Get back to me after you’ve attended one of these events.”

I did. In Mexico, over 50 years ago. But the bleachers did not collapse. Still, the spectacle was pretty twisted.

“I always root for the bull.”

Absolutely.

They spent 800 years chucking Muslims out of their country. That would color your world view. Unfortunately they didn’t outgrow it as the savagery of their civil war showed. I didn’t know about them killing the hunting dogs, and am sorry I ever learned

lets see...we watch two men pummel each other in a ring....we watch women box...we have guys tying up the balls of a bull then riding them....we send hounds out chasing animals ..

lets not even get into what humans do to children...

I'd say we're not a perfect society....

I don't condone this activity at all....but when people are dying and getting injured I'd say we can afford a little bit of grace....

"I wonder what the bull was thinking."

If ever a bull could get the last laugh, this one did.

There’s a tradition in Italy where a guy hangs his hunting dogs - sometimes the death takes days - after the hunting season is over.

Hunting dogs are expensive and need plenty of training to be any good. In fact it's first season is generally more play training then the dog being any help.

So this makes no sense.

” I didn’t know about them killing the hunting dogs, and am sorry I ever learned.”

You and me both.

Yeah, I read about it a few minutes ago. Sick bastards.

You’re responding to things I didn’t say, imply or assume.

“Let’s see” Then you list some weird stuff that “we” do. I do none of that, do you?

Happy to hear your societal philosophy though the notion we aren’t perfect is fairly widespread, universal even. I agree.

Grace? How about poise and etiquette? Silliness.

I pointed out there are many activities available that don’t require animal cruelty. You say stuff.

Not enlightening, not persuasive. No value.

There is never a reason to be cruel to an animal.

Oh Jorge, not the livestock!

There’s a tradition in Italy where a guy hangs his hunting dogs - sometimes the death takes days - after the hunting season is over. It sucks. Like bullfighting.

Good grief - that’s horrible! I lived in Italy for three years as a “tween” and never heard of this.

[Allegra]

That’s heartbreaking and incredibly cruel. What awful people.

[ViLaLuz]

It hurts my heart.

I’m not a witness to it, but again - look it up and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. There is a statue of a guy hanging his dogs. They were like greyhounds.

Another person who posted here said this happened in Spain. It wasn’t April 1st when I read that.

I remember seeing a short documentary of Italians’ callous behavior toward pet dogs so that’s my experience that made it not too hard to believe.

[Scarlett156]

Thanks for that correction. Yeah, I mean - can’t you keep some bones or whatever aside for hard times rather than kill your dogs? But then there’s the idea that you have to let them breed, too. Life has always been hard for dogs, but in the end they remain our best friends. Kinda surprising.

I enjoy it when the bull wins no matter how it happens.
