However you look at it, it is cruel and barbaric.
I spent more time than I care to admit in the military...I am not unaware of what is cruel and barbaric.
I didnt say you weren't, i was stating my opinion.
 
 I've seen dead bulls loaded on to trucks and live ones left to bleed death slowly in a heap because the matador missed the bulls heart with a sword.
Typically when that happens the bulls throat is cut and he beeds to death quite quickly.
Typically? Well i've seen the bull tournaments come to my mums village a few times and they were left to bleed to death slowly. Also i have it on good word that the same thing happens at some of the permanent bull rings such as Rhonda.

I hope you never have to see the preperation of the bulls and the aftermath of the bull fights at first hand as i have done.
That is what being an aficionado means.  You are aware that the bulls are always(by tradition) given to the orphanage.
The corrida like BDSM is not for everyone.

At the end of the day all i'm trying to say is that i don't agree with animals dieing for sport and so a bull fighter can look all brave and butch.

Some of my best freinds are Neanderthals. And  - I'll adopt the cute lil' polar bear cub myself. He is just too cute for words. I'll pay for all of his food, and remain anonymous. Nobody will be able to locate me, or cub Knut, and they'll all just shut up and quit arguing about it, then. [:)]
