Rink holds 4,000; they don't kill the bull (for now?) No word yet when start throwing virgins into volcanos. Why isn't riding them enough? ["The times they are a changing." - Bob Dylan]

Bull fighting? Now there is a great sport. Right up there with cockfighting. Now in Mississippi ?

Boy, this country is really forging ahead.

Is it long before other animals can be tormented: how about cock fighting, dog fighting? How are the casinos going to compete? Maybe import live sex act shows from Oregon now that that law has been passed there? Doesn't this put the SPCA out of business?

I guess this comes under freedom of expression too? / sarcasm off

I wonder if they'll have another great Mexican invention at the arena, the outdoor community ditch toilet. I mean, if they want it "muy authentico"!

With our animal cruelty laws how can they get away with this?

Bull fighting in Mississippi.

At least I have memories of what America was like just a few decades back.
