"human rights activists"? -- Last time I checked, bulls were not human.

A bunch of mariposas. Bullfighting is the last manly sport still legal in much of the world. At least Louisiana hasn't banned Cockfighting.

What are they going to do with the Plaza de Toros Monumental -- make it a baseball stadium? I had my one and only view of bullfighting there in Sol y Sombra on a Thursday many years ago.

Well, instead of killing these animals in at what is seen as, at least a challenge to the animal; they will be herded to the slaughter house.
Besides; don't some countries promote bullfights without the final murderous act?

Like the Limeys aversion to fox hunting...just don't understand how an entire country suddenly becomes a bunch of poofters.

I agree with you about dogfights and cockfights.
Bull fighting, man against beast, dates back at least to ancient Crete and ancient Thera. It evokes a time when men were men and bulls were wild creatures, symbols of strength and virility, more than just a lot of porterhouse waiting to get zapped in a slaughter house.

They can still run with the bulls, right?
I drink bulls...Redbulls with vodka. Wide awake & drunk.

Gee! Maybe I can be a real man! I will put on my wife's sequined robes, head out into my back pasture and stick a knife in the neck of one of my bulls!
Please clap for me!
