Thread Name: An end to bulfighting on Channel 4?
Subject: RE: An end to bulfighting on Channel 4?
Let's examine the facts. Those bulls have never been close to a human before. They are raised on ranches that cover many acres of land. Suddenly, they are confined in an arena with screeming people, subjected to severe wounding to weaken them, then they are tormented to the point of exhaustion, and some "macho" bull killer rams a sword into its heart. This is a sport? Why not make it a real contest? The bull killer has had many hours of practice, but, the bull has had none at all. The bull killer has not been wounded and weakened. So, level the playing field, then you may call it a sport.

It remindes me of these so called world champions of boxing. They all avoid anyone who might beat them, yet, they have the crust to claim the title. I find them all disgusting.
