BullFighting?

I guess, it has to do with their culture or tradition for many years. That's their custom. :)

Yes, I understand the Spanish want to see Bull fight to continue because it is their culture, same with England's fox hunting, it was promising to an end to hunting 7 years ago, but it still hasn't delivered to stop from the Government.

There are more and more pro-bloodsport activists around the world to stop the bull fight, fox hunting, cock fight, pitbull dogs and of course a bear fight with dogs and Japanese kill dolphins.

Bears, I believe is the cruel of all because Thai people took the bear's teeth and claws out to let pitbull and mongrels to attack them. Secondly I was told the Spanish put a vaseline ointment around bull's eyes before the show fight, imagine these bulls seeing blurring with spanish's red blanket and spears!

Fox hunting, is not too bad and I'm sorry to say I like to see it continue as it is beautiful to witness a lots of horses with hundred of hound dogs near my local pub in my village not long ago. It is true British culture, as it is hard to ban it. Fox are pest to chicken, badgers, sheeps etc.

I think banning doesn't solve anything due tradition but the best solution is don't go in and watch them. I once saw bullfighting when I was a little girl and think it's horrible... I remember that my mom was upset and my step-dad said to me that they heard bull's fear or cried... It disgusit me totally... Many years later, I went Spain again and decide to not go in and watch them...

I can not stand it. Too much abuse here, hope someday they will ban it. It is also in Mexico too and we also have illegal cock fights and dog fights. Can not think of it right now, too upset.
 
eh I don't really give a shit. It's their culture and centuries of tradition. We have absolutely no say in that matter. We have boxing in here where we pummel on each other to pulp and WWF as well (yea fake). That may be viewed as "oh... typical narrow-minded warmongering Americans... it should be banned" to foreigners. Right?
 
I am very against animal cruelty, but I don't mind the running with bulls. If people get hurt, too bad, they knew what they were getting into. It's true that some bulls can get hurt, but it is not as bad as bullfighting when they actually throw barbs into the bull to make it more aggressive. There is a difference between FORCING pain on an animal and the animal getting hurt due to stampede. Anyone ever see the Great Wildebeest Migration while crossing a river, let me tell ya.. it ain't pretty...

Ah... yea true - I was at bullfighting in Mexico and I wasn't even entertained at all. Most of the time - my family and I were :-o:-o:-o:-o. BTW - I want to clarify a bit - my post above was referring to bull runs. For some odd reason - I thought this thread was about bull runs instead of bullfighting. :slap:

Anyway - for bullfighting.... those bulls were heading to slaughterhouse so what better way to die "honorably"? Bullfighting. I don't like it at all but... what can I say? It's their culture and centuries of tradition... :squint:

that was crazy scene in Planet Earth episode and NGC as well. To make it worse.... alligators hide in the river, waiting for them....
 
I went to watch the bullfighting event in Cancun with my friends because I wanted to see what it looks like. I did not like what I saw because it was not necessary to do it for entertainment purposes. My friend bought a cut off ear from the last bull that got knifed, for $2. It disgusted me.
 
Bullfighting and the Running of the Bulls every year in Pamplona, Spain are two very different things.

:gpost:

Exactly. No one forces anyone to run with the bulls. If they choose to do so, they are responsible of they get hurt in the process.

Running with the bulls is an ages old tradition. That culture doesn't object to it, and in fact, celebrates it.

Yes, they are. The title, and the cut and paste defining the topic are two very different things.

Yes I agree with you on this. It´s their responsiblity if they get injured by bulls. They provoke to make bulls aggressive... This is so.

Like what I said previous post that banning doesn´t solve anything... If you don´t like then don´t go in and watch them...

My step mother said the same thing, she didn't think it was that horrible but it was. She told me they killed the bull after it was over. :shock:

I haven't been to the bullfighting events, only seen it on TV.

As much I don't like bullfighting (which is NOT what the topic is about.. haha), I would never go over to Spain and tell them "That's a no no." :nono:
Same for running with the bulls.
 
I think the whole thing is cruel but other cultures see differently.

Yes, I think having animals perform under horrible conditions is just wrong!
 
Unless there's something I don't know, what I remember of the annual Running of the Bulls in Pamplona is that people, not the bulls, get hurt.
 
Just the ones reading THAT Hemingway.
Sorry, couldn't resist it.
Bulls put me to sleep.

Quite true. People are hurt attempting to outrun a bunch of stampeding, agressive bulls with very sharp horns! Yep, sounds like fun, doesn't it?:shock:
