Bullfighting is not a sport or spectacle, it's murder

[Raphael Lambach]

Last week I was watching a documentary about Spain and in spite of its beauty and fantastic culture there was something shocking to me: bullfighting. Of course I knew about bullfighting but I didn't remember the bull must be dead on it. The I paid attention in all aspects from it - called sport or spectacle which both of meanings I disagree completely. I've thinking to travel all over the Europe this year and I'd stay in Spain too. But I deleted Spain of my plains by now. Bullfighting is not a sport or even a spectacle. IT'S MURDER. I'm glad it's no allowed at Catalonia anymore.

On this doc there was man telling that he had killed (murdered, he should say) about 1,000 bulls. This bullfighter was proud of himself for doing it on his young years. I think we also should kill around 1,000 bullfighters.

I agree with what you say about bullfighting but I wouldn't miss seeing Spain if I were you. Bullfighting offends possibly because of the spectacle and the glorification of the killing. Still every country has animal slaughter and butchery. Spain probably has a lot of animal rights activists that would like to see bullfighting ended but it's hard to fight tradition and may take time.

You know how much I love animals.
Now I decided I'll struggle hard for their rights.

He really deserved it.

I enjoy watching matadors get mauled, same with the people in the bull run.

He also deserved it.

I don't disagree competely from your words, but you should admit that bulls are the only true victims in bullfightings. It's really impressive that so many people didn't stoping watching, supporting thins kind of "sport" yet. WE CANNOT FACE IT OUT AS A GAME. IT'S MURDER.

Agreed, I am merely sensitive to the over usage of the word "murder". See, a long time ago I was in the army, and I killed people, it was not called murder, it was called war.
But for many years I thought of myself as a murderer which is simply not the case anymore.
Now I just prefer to think of murderers as the only people who really murder.
This is not to say that I approve of what goes on in bullfighting, just that I reserve using the term "murder" to describe the unlawful killing of one person by another.
Its a matter of clarity, which possibly only concerns someone like me here, nevertheless
there it is...


ps: when I think of bullfighers, I think of butchers

Robby, I understood your reason to limit the useage of "muder". I know exactly you meant and I'll never judge you.
These bullfighters have no rights of killing animals by pleasure. Of course, I see that many Spanish are getting ober this tradiction and prostesting against it what is really and trully important to combate and delete it from this planet.

Stop killing animals.

Scottish government banned Fox hunting in 2002, then it was banned in England and Wales in 2004.

 

[chris]

cheers for that, kewpie. i didn't realise the ban was instituted back in 2004. i've always been partial to the wily old fox ever since reading roald dahl's fantastic mr fox.

Ok. As Kewpie said foxhunting was banned (thanks God) in 2004. It'll not bring the blame on English people for hunting fox down. Of course they're trying to make something useful about it. I hope bullfighting is banned quite soon all over the Europe.
