Quiero España, la cultura española y yo soy interesado muy en la historia española. Sin embargo, yo no quiero la tauromaquia. Esto es un pasatiempo bárbaro que debe ser consignado a los libros de la historia. Me recuerda del "pan y circos" la filosofía que fue adoptada por los antiguos romanos. En esos antiguos tiempos mancha de sangre gafas fueron preparadas para mantener las masa poco inteligentes divertidas. ¿Sin duda nosotros no necesitamos este hoy en España moderna?

i'd prefer this if they didnt kill the bull in the end......that would be entertaining, although i dont really mind the killing :P

[partysmylife21]

OMG I hate when the crowd cheers even louder when the horse gets gored!

[dawnlark30]

this is disgusting. i don't understand how all those people can pay to go and watch animals being killed. the bull is obviously confused and in pain. if these stupid people want to fight bulls they should do it themselves and not drag the horses into this. better yet why don't they make it illegal? this is animal cruelty. the bull is stabbed before the fight and expected to perform and the horse is covered in a target. these people are asking the bull to attack the horse. this is despicable

@dawnlark30

before you say such things, the horse is for entertainment; it is not meant to fight the bull. i hope you do know that the killing of the horse was not a part of the show - it was just an incident gone horribly wrong.

another thing: let these people live their lives as they have been doing for centuries past. it is simply a way of life for them.

you can not illegalize a country's national pride and identity just because you think it is wrong. please do not be selfish.

[dawnlark30]

obviously they don't mean to kill the horse. but even putting the horse in the event puts it at risk. the people still pay to watch the bull being killed. this is in the same category as dog fighting in my opinion. yes it may be one of their national sports but do you think they could find something a little less violent to be proud of their country for?

[SOULBEROCKS]

everyone fighting the bull or better yet.... everybody in this arena should be killed by a bull..............

[DeStryke51]

okay then do you see a problem with hunting as a sport?

[stoopidinak]

I live in Alaska. A lot of us don't hunt as a sport,, we hunt to eat. So, yeah, I do see sport hunting as a huge problem, but hunting to feed your family, I have no problem w/. I gotta go....I gotta go cook up some moose steaks for my kids; they're hungry! (P.S, no offence meant by this post, just my opinion)

[stoopidinak]

Notice how the audience cheers louder when the poor horse gets gored? I've always thought less of countries who have no problem w/ animal cruelty. In America, we RIDE our bulls (who happen to weigh 500-1000lbs more than these bulls, and DON'T have swords sticking out of their spines. ) Hey matadores, grow a pair, and get on top of that bull, with no sword in your hand and no cape to confuse the bull! I DARE YOU! Tose poor bulls are exhausted, confused and mortally wounded. Then they're murdered.

[silverculture]

The audience is not cheering but booing the fighters . American bulls are heavier and slower. Besides protection, americans shave the horns so they can not hurt them. Matadores have nothing but their skills, a (capote) and a sword, and the bull has very sharp horns. If you think americans had a bigger pair. I would love to see them standing in front of these bulls without any protection but a piece of cloth. Now both bullfithing and rodeo riding are as cruel, primitive and stupid.

[stoopidinak]

I agree w/ what you say; my post came across wrong, (was I drinking that night?I do agree, after giving it some thought, that both sports are cruel and primitive. The worst part, in my opinion, regarding american rodeos is the fact that they practice on mules. The abuse that these mules suffer is terrible; I won't go into it; it's google-able. And as for the comment above mine re: hunting, I have no respect for trophy hunters.

[topflightmexican]

bull riding actually was started by the Charros of Mexico and the US has to go and copy our sport. Why doesn't the US grow a pair and make up their own shit for once!!

[MrBiggs099]

@topflightmexican indeed amigo..

[dadikkedude]

@stoopidinak no americans would never do that >.>

[MrBiggs099]

@stoopidinak i understand where your coming from, but look at the way America slaughters it cows and how many animals are abuse by the Farmers. true killing an animal even for entertainment is wrong. but questioning a countries traditions without looking at your own countries traditions seems pretty ironic. believe it or not the animal does get a proper burial ground after his pointless slaughter, its indeed sad. no hard feelings just my opinion lets keep this conversation clean and mature.
