Am I supposed to feel sorry for the kid?

I don't. You put yourself in an enclosed area with a pissed-off 750 pound mammal with sharp horns.

Natural selection at it's finest, folks.

I hope that child would have died. I hope that his parents would have lived in sorrow for the rest of their life thinking of what they did.

Its all fun and games until the bull catches you, then its the bulls fault. What a backward and barbaric tradition

@budfr Actually we eat the Bulls wife, because she don't wonna see her husband in your SICK country. Torturing bulls, pff... get a better life, son on a b*ch

@budfr Still, the caps locks is on, my good sir. But it's not a bull that burgers are from, it's actually a cow. So, you're wrong on that part. But just because it's mainstream, doesn't mean I agree with it. I am highly against the act of slaughtering animals. So, wrong on that part, again. But just because you eat them after doesn't mean it's right. Before you eat them you torture them, so that obviously wrong. And what does the war have anything to do with this? It's not even relevant.

@EMTCEE WHAT I SAID IS ALSO DISGUSTING...EVEN MORE SO. THE BURGERS YOU EAT ARE FROM A BULL.....KILLED IN A SLAUGHTERHOUSE.... THESE BULLS ARE BRED FOR THAT, WE EAT THEM AFTER. LIKE I SAID I DON´T AGREE WITH YOU PEOPLE INVADING OTHER COUNTRIES AND KILLING JUST BECAUSE OF SUPERIOR MILITARY FORCES, NOT GUTS.

@budfr Look, how about you take a chill pill and lay off the caps locks alright? I'm sure your shift key right now is about to explode! Haha. But did I even take a swing at your culture or your race? You seemed to just hate Americans all around. All I said is that stabbing a bull to death is sick, which it is. It's inhumane and disgusting. So why don't you come back when you are in a calmer state of mind, pal.

@EMTCEE WHY DO YOU IDIOTS ALWAYS CRITICIZE OUR TRADITIONS?? YOU HAVE DOG FIGHTS, KILL PEOPLE IN WARS FOR NO REASON, YOU HUNT ANIMALS FOR SPORT, RODEO, YOU EVEN PLAY A STUPID GAME CALLED GOLF, WHICH DESTROYS ACRES OF TREES AND WASTE WATER WATERING THE COURSES. YOU WISH YOU HAD THE GUTS TO DO WHAT THAT KID DOES. SPANISH-SPEAKING PEOPLE HAVE DIFFERENT TRADITIONS AND WAY OF LIFE. WE HAVE GREAT FOOD, YOU HAVE BURGER KING.

[budfr]

@minipavis YOU ARE CORRECT. BY THE WAY, THAT KID IS FROM MY HOMETOWN, HE IS VERY GOOD. I LOVE BULLFIGHTS BECAUSE MY UNCLES AND GRANDAFATHER LOVED IT.

@minipavis Wow, if it's tradition to have human sacrifices as the Mayans did, then whey can't we still do it today? You ignorant bigot.
