bulfighting??

Answer 1

It's ******* sick. I live in Spain and can't believe that nearly everyone here thinks that it's ok to torture an animal for about 6 hours and then stab it in it's neck for their own amusement. Every time I ask a Spaniard if they think it's cruel they give it the "oh, it's tradition" crap. It's then that i wish there was an old English tradition of stabbing Spaniards in the eye, "My people's have been doing theess for hundredss of yearss. Eets tradition".

Answer 2

It was introduced into Spain in ancient times by the Carthaginians. The Carthaginians had a tendancy to brutalize things and brutalizing the sport of tornaments with bulls (Sacred animals in many ancient Mediterranean religions)was one of them. It survived the Roman, Visigothic and Moorish periods in Spain down to modern times.

However, I understand that much of modern bullfighting as we know it today dates from the 16th to 18th centuries. This is when mounted riders with a spear first appeared and the small spears that are thrown into the bulls back (banderillas).

Many people don't know it but the English once had a form of bullfighting too even more cruel than the Spanish form using dogs. This was the reason bulldogs were bred. During the tournament, the bulldog would eventually bite the bull's nose and the bull would bleed to death.

Bull baiting and bullfighting were finally outlawed in England in 1848 under pressure from the British Royal Humane Society although the sport had been declining there for a century prior to that. The English form probably dates back to the Roman gladitorial days.

There is no doubt about the fiendishness and cruelty of the sport as other people have already mentioned. Some people say that even Spanish bullfighting is a dying sport and will probably be outlawed in Spain too in the next twenty or thirty years. I hope so.

Has 2 L's!

Answer 4

It is definitely the cruellest sport known to Man since the days when slaves were thrown into Roman stadiums to fight with lions. So also is the witnessing of ****, dogs and other fierce animal fights-to-the -death.Maybe in the jungles and among tribes where there have no feelings and nothing else to occupy their recreational hours. But people in civilized societies should know and "feel" better. Would u like to see your pet dog, cat, pig, bird, mouse, etc being torn to shreds in a death fight?

Answer 5

In the US, bullfighters are the men who keep the bull off of the bull rider, once he's come off the bull's back. He will distract the bull and allow the bull rider a chance to get away.

I saw a "Bullfight" when I was in Spain in 1986. It made me sick.

I'm all for US bullfighters, though. They are American Heroes!

Corrida, the cruel sport still practiced in Spain is some others countries.
The Matador and Torreros kills the bull on the arena, in front of thousands of people, children included.
Cruel, inhuman, unnecessary, sick show.
