Mess with a bull and this can happen. The bullfighter tortured the bull, the bull defended himself. Tough tamales, bullfighter!
Pretty steep price for 15 minutes of fame.
“A lot worse things to worry about.”
Let Spaniards be Spaniards. If they like it, it’s fine with me. I had a particularly fine steak from the Golan Heights this evening. I have no idea how it was killed, but it had to die so I could eat it. It was delicious.
;)
Exhibit B.
Ole’!
It comes with the sport and it’s the risk a matador takes.....like a Grand Prix driver or free solo wall climber
And no I do not value a stupid 1200 pound steak on hooves same as a man
And freepers who do....
Well to quote Ray Wylie.....”screw you....”
And if the bull should "win" again just keep fighting that bull!
I think the bull earned his life!
Threads like this are depressing
Freeper pussies worried about a frigging bull
Or they just think they are tough mouthing off...most never live an hour away from their iPhone
You’re a good poster
You also eschew those here who laugh when adventurous youth die tragically
Like I said most of these big mouths have never done a lot
As people have mentioned, fighting bulls live much happier lives than the critter YOU just ate for dinner. Do the fighting bulls suffer? Yeah, for about 20 minutes, which is the length of a professional bullfight. Big deal.
Amen, brother.
I’m with u sans the dog fighting
Saw one nights worth once....no thanks
Bullfights and cockfights ....no problem from me
I like both
Do you torture your food before you kill and eat it? The picadores (barbed knives on a stick) they use during the bull fight stuck in the upper shoulder muscles causes the bull intense pain to make it turn in a predictable direction and causes it to fight more fervently. It also weakens the animal to make it easier to avoid. Near the end it just stands with blood streaming from woumds and its mouth as the brave toreador issues the coup de grace with a sword. The meat is so riddled with adrenaline it tastes bad and is thrown away.
GOOD.
That’s bullfighting. Some Spaniards and Mexicans of the Spanish tradition love it. I’m inclined to leave it at that.
Mind your own business, and don’t eat meat if it is too cruel for your psyche.
The bull doesn’t care that he has supporters on FR.
Ditto! They wound the bull to weaken him, “fight” him, and then claim courage when the bull finally falls from a final stab. What a bunch of cowards. Real men. (spit)
