I’m just curious on your guys’ opinions. Is bull fighting (the Spanish version with the spikes and sword) cruel? We are learning about it in Spanish class and it’s history is very interesting.

In the big picture as hunters and trappers us saying it's cruel or not is a slippery slope. My opinion it is an animal and doesn't have the intrinsic value as say a human being. To me it's their country and their culture and it being an animal it's a non-issue for me.

Hunters and trappers strive for a quick humane kill, Im not sure them bullfighters are in the same mindset. Having said that, I dont want Spain telling me what to do, so Ill let them handle their traditions as they see fit.

I think it is their culture and not my place to judge. Can't see as it is that much different than me watching my patterdale terriers tear into a big old coon or badger, just different critters doing the killing and dying. I sure don't want someone telling me I can't run my dogs any more cause it is cruel.

No problem with it here if they want to play with their food first.

I understand a few of those matadors get stomped from time to time so maybe it's a fair fight.

I think it's cruel. I always root for the bull hoping he tears up some matadors.


Eh...wot?

Some Navy buddies and I got "escorted" (forcefully ) out of a bull fight in Madrid for cheering for the bull. We weren't impressed with the "sport" . . . and the Guardia weren't impressed with us either.

If it was not for bullfighting those Bulls would not exist. Do the Bulls benefit from existing up until the point of their Slaughter? I think so. Also I think there are much crueler Ways to Die as well.

I ain't into unnecessary cruelty to animals. But if being okay with that makes you feel like a he man trapper, that's kinda special too.

I'm good with it, and if it is there culture than even better.

You need to understand the culture I personally enjoy, it and in Nam rooster fights never seen a betting dog fight and don't care to. How about the running of the bulls? or the man show to each his own and like others said their country their laws.
