A top professional Spanish bullfighter was gored to death during a live television event over the weekend.

A big Texan cowboy stopped at a local restaurant following a day of drinking and roaming around in Mexico. While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious looking platter being served at the next table. Not only did it look good, but the smell was wonderful..
He asked the waiter, “What is that you just served?” The waiter replied, “Ah Senor, you have excellent taste! Those are bull’s testicles from the bullfight this morning. A delicacy!”
The cowboy, undaunted, said, “What the heck, I’m on vacation, I’ll have some!” The waiter replied, “I am so sorry Senor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bullfight each morning. If you place your order now, we will be sure to save you this delicacy for tomorrow”
The cowboy placed the order and the next evening he was served the one and only special delicacy of the day. After a few bites, and inspecting the contents of his platter, he called to the waiter and said, “These are delicious, but they are much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday”
The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Si, Senor ... sometimes the bull wins.”
Heheh. Power to the bull.
Stay home and play video games with your pasty friends.
Maybe you’ll get high score.
Wusses.
Bullfighting, horse tripping, dog fighting...
We have dominion over the critters. Kill them quickly to eat them, that is fine.
To torture and abuse them, no.
It is one of those strange latino machismo attitude, but instead of being done to women, it is done to anmimals to show off... ugh
That and soccer supporters...
I wish there was a way to use a tranquilizer sword instead of a real one, so that I could stand there in front of 10K people and go head to head against a charging bull. I think the sport is cruel as hell, although as a Roman history junkie it is interesting to observe the only real last vestige of the gladiatorial games (boxing, wrestling, etc are much more universal and found everywhere, bullfighting is pretty much a direct lineal decedent of the Roman games); yeah, animals have to die so that we can eat, but killing anything other than a murderer or rapist painfully is wrong.
If you don’t have a decent chance of dying, it’s not a sport, it’s a game.
I was taken to a bullfight in Tijuana as a kid of about 10. I was disgusted by the torture and cruelty while viscous, heartless people sat there and cheered for it.
It was sickening. I’ve always had a thing for animals and they seem to take to me pretty fast too. I can’t tolerate torture and cruelty to defenseless animals.
That a pro matador got killed this time will only make bullfighting more popular amongst those who like it.
***They are for grilling medium rare with taters.***
But you still have to kill them first!
Americans bash them in the head with a sledge hammer, then cut their throats. Then cut them up for food.
Spanish and Mexicans put them in a ring, let them chase the Picador and Matador to get the bull meat tender, then kill them with a sword, cut them up and give the meat to the poor.
Is that from a Warner Bros Cartoon or the horrid 1976 version of the beautiful 1966 movie DOCTOR COPPELIUS?
Yup. The bulls have a good life, and one really crappy hour. And as we see here, sometimes they win. The same people who write about “oooooh, that’s so cruel” usually ate chicken or beef that day. There is no reason to eat animals except for taste preference.
A lot worse things to worry about.

Bullfighting is a blood sport. For some odd reason, people still enjoy this old world behaviour.
Very civilized people.
NOT.
I don’t even eat meat, and I wholly agree with you.
Beef in the US is not “hit in the head” with a sledge hammer. They are restrained in a chute and stunned with a captive bolt to the brain. Then they are hoisted up and throats slit to bleed them out. There are sometimes mistakes made but they are almost always unconscious. They try to keep the animals as calm as possible because stress is bad for the meat.
