In the news today, 7 people have been killed since the begining of July (four of which were this w/e) during the annual bull running festivals in Spain. Not strictly the same I suppose as a bull getting its own back on a matador or a picador, but nevertheless if people will torment animals for sport.......

If any matador is killed in a bull fight, then tough. He knows the risks, the odds are stacked in his favour and he's making money out of it.


Spectators perhaps shouldn't be there spectating, but I wouldn't wish them any physical harm.


Bull runs are a bit different, but they are bloody dangerous and if you want to get in the thick of it in an act of bravado, then you are taking a stupid risk IMO.

Agree, Otta.


I also wonder at times if many people have seen a full-blooded (no pun intended) bull-fight. I would assume they are, or have been, available on you-tube, I have not looked. I was given a couple many years ago by a friend who had moved to Spain and was visiting (these were old VHS tapes!!), and I found it absolutely disgusting. The reality was nothing like the images that we used to be fed back in the day. The way those animals are tortured and a lot of the time even at the "climax" (such as I'm sure it would be descibed), the end is not clean and swift. Truly is utterly appalling.
