Went to a fight when I was in Barcelona a couple of years back.

Shit was pretty fucked up, to be honest.

Yeah, its really stupid.
Seriously, though, if you're going to kill the cow, just kill it. dont make it last hours and dont make it a fucking public spectacle. I've read the matadors cut the ears off and tails off separately.. they stick those giant-ass knives in their backs... wtf?

How is that amusing? I bet even rapists wouldnt want to see that shit.

My ma went to a bull fight a couple years ago in madrid. she got sick and had to leave because it was so disturbing, i guess.

It's a difference of culture.>>329759made the exaggerated claim that even rapists wouldn't stand for it, but the fact is that it's popular in places like Spain, so no matter what you say it's at least more socially acceptable there than it is here (here being the US, I suppose).

There's something about the clean image of bull fighting that's alluring though. It's a big, frightening bull being tricked and bested by a single man with a cape. People enjoy watching it.

If it was more obvious that the bull was being tortured and crippled in order to make it safe, you might draw a smaller crowd.

Every culture has their gladiatorial games, their occasional dose of gore n' guts n' glory. Yeah, it's barbaric and in this case, I don't agree with it, but like>>329762said it's a part of their culture. Every once in a while some bull gets payback, anyway.

Culture isn't any kind of excuse. There's countries were female genital mutilation is still an acceptable part of the culture, since sexual urges supposedly belong to men there. There's cultures with cannibalism and slavery. Are we supposed to accept that, because that's the way it has been for a long time, if not always? Who cares if people or other species have to suffer and die for it, change is scary!

Being barbarian isn't any kind of excuse either.

Culture is every kind of excuse. Countries have the right to pursue whatever practice they want, without interference from the rest of the world. Sometimes that includes human rights violations.

You seriously believe that culture is a valid excuse for any kind of human rights violation? ANY KIND?

Damn, I'm being trolled here.

History is written by the victors. Just ask indigenous Americans.

Animals are not humans. Shouldn't you be talking about animals rights?

Oh, that's right, even you know that animal rights is an arbitrary piece of shit.

Cultural relativity, mother fucker, do you know it?

Fucking intolerant facists who think that their way is the only way.

I'm not a fascist. What they are doing IS immoral. They are torturing the creature which is more than capable of feeling pain and being distressed. It is animal abuse. It is wrong. Fuck culture, they are sick.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it was a fair fight. Problem is the bulls already bleeding to death by the time it gets to the ring.

But humans are animals. Just another species of mammals.

I'm not sure exactly what they do, but yeah the thing is pretty weakened/confused when it's made to fight.
It's a really retarded and pointless sport I see no honor or courage in it really, i don't feel bad at all when some bull decides to go nuts on the bullfighter, or even better the crowd
