If in Spain, would you attend a bullfight?


I have been watching it on Toros TV from Seville. It's cruel but fascinating at how many people show up to watch this. Seems to be an upper class event. I have have never heard of the Picador before - a guy on a huge horse who spears the bull to weaken him. Cruel stuff. The Matadors are treated like rock stars.

No, I don’t like that and I’m surprised it’s still legal in a civilized country like Spain.

reply

No, animal abuses like this really hurts my heart. I don't understand how it can be legal.

If in Spain, would you Bull Shit? 😜

reply

Yep. If I could, i'd attend public executions and gladiator duels to the death. I love a good blood bath.

reply

No. But I'd love to see someone rush the field and take a sword or one of those lances to some of those sick fucks. Preferably on camera.

Did you know that the verb for "to bullfight" in Spanish also means to dodge? So they don't really call it bull fighting, they call it bull dodging. Just a bit of trivia for ya.

reply

Absolutely not.

I won't even consider a bird for a pet. I can't stand the thought of that poor bird being caged all its life.

Not something that really interests me and from what I have heard in the past it's only tourists that keep it going.

I found this funny from Wikipedia.
"In Canada, Portuguese-style bullfighting was introduced in 1989 by Portuguese immigrants in the town of Listowel in southern Ontario. Despite objections and concerns from local authorities and a humane society, the practice was allowed as the bulls were not killed or injured in this version.[22] In the nearby city of Brampton, Portuguese immigrants from the Azores practice "tourada a corda" (bullfight by rope)."

I can imagine the SJW Canadian authorities. "B,b,but the animals? PETA will not like this! But... they are Portuguese people, they aren't quite... white... are they? Oh dear... we might have to weigh a few things up here.. Perhaps Trudeau can provide us with the latest SJW check sheet so we can assess this properly. Perhaps there are some non white Trans matadors that would seal the deal."
