Bull "fighter" bites the dust

[Flex Your Head]

THE PRE-FIGHT TREATMENT:

The bull is not an aggressive animal, and the reason he is angry and attempts to charge at the matador whilst in the bullring is mainly because he has been horrendously abused for the previous two days. In fact, what spectators see is not a normal, healthy bull, but a weakened, half-blinded and mentally destroyed version, whose chances of harming his tormentors is virtually nil. The bull has wet newspapers stuffed into his ears; vaseline is rubbed into his eyes to blur his vision; cotton is stuffed up his nostrils to cut off his respiration and a needle is stuck into his genitals. Also, a strong caustic solution is rubbed onto his legs which throws him off balance. This also keeps him from lying down on the ground. In addition to this, drugs are administered to pep him up or slow him down, and strong laxatives are added to his feed to further incapacitate him.
He is kept in a dark box for a couple of days before he faces the ring: the purpose of this is to disorientate him. When he is let out of the box, he runs desperately towards the light at the end of the tunnel. He thinks that at last his suffering is over and he is being set free — instead, he runs into the bullring to face his killers and a jeering mob.

Whatever you think of this fella dying, who is NOT thinking.................good!

I'm not, whilst I think bullfighting is barbaric the hypocrisy on here is beyond belief , this board Pisses it's pants condemning capital punishment how it has no place in a civilised society blah blah , yet there are people celebrating the death of this particular human being , why ?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

As an aside from the rights and wrongs, you've gotta love the Sun's online headline about this (bearing in mind someone has been killed) : GORE BLIMEY!

I'd rather the bloke was working in an office and walking around alive and well. But he chose a barbaric 'sport' so **** him.

What the **** has capital punishment got to do with it? I'm in favour of that as well.

If these matadors are akin to working class prizefighters doing the only thing available to them to drag their families out of poverty then I'd not celebrate the demise of the man involved. I don't know anything about matadoring, but if this man had other choices to gain a salary and some acclaim (is it something to do with acclaim?), then I won't miss him.

 

[Hampster Gull]

We all know that certain sections of the Spanish community have a special love for there bulls, well it appears this feeling wasn't mutual!

No idea how a developed country can still think this sport is noble or entertaining!

Not the whole country. As a catalan friend pointed out to me today it is not iheir culture, nor flamenco dancing

 

[fat old seagull]

Truly barbaric, however to be fair, there are millions of Spaniards who abhor Bullfighting. In fact there are areas of Spain it has been outlawed. And more to follow, hopefully.

As for the Matador..' Live by the Sword ..........!

I'm not sure the two examples you give are even remotely the same. With capital punishment there can always be the element of doubt - indeed there are numerous examples of innocent people put to death whilst the UK still had it in force - this 'man' went into the ring with the express aim of killing a living animal. That living animal won - tough shit basically. If you don't want to be gored to death then don't be so ****1ng stupid as to get into a ring with the bull. No sympathy from me whatsoever. Worst thing is that the bull was probably killed anyway.

If you don't know why, I'm not going to enlighten you

Really confused that you can strike up any similarity between people considering the death penalty, carried out by society. Is anyway relevant to matador dying whilst trying to kill his prey FFS! The matador knew there was risk attached, (even though the game is heavily weighted in his favour). I'm personally not celebrating this guys death, but I'd feel a whole lot sorrier for folk that died accidentently... or at least not carrying out acts of cruelty. In fact even for the bull

 

[super-seagulls]

I wish all matadores a slow and painful death.
It's animal cruelty no matter how you dress it up and it's sickening that it is still seen as a sport.

Isn't wishing people to die a slow and painful death animal cruelty too?
A little hypocritical, maybe??
Bull fighting is not right, but what you said is just plain wrong. I wish you to go on and live a full and healthy life not die a slow and painful death like you have just wished on living creatures because they have different opinions.

You Sir, are as bad as them and deserve to.........

You seem to be confusing living creatures with a choice with those who don't.

This.

He will have ended many a Bull's life by puncturing their heart or brain. I hope his family, friends and fans accept this as a hazard associated with his particular psychotic pass time.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

To see Bullfighters die? or to see an animal tortured?

I'd imagine there are people that go who attend in the same way people attend motor sports hoping for an almighty pile up. If the point is to watch the bull get slaughtered surely it's a bit samey?

Wish what you want upon me, I can sleep easy knowing that I don't abuse or torture animals to death.
I don't wish anything nice to happen to these low-life scum-bags who brutally torture creatures in front of other low-life scum-bags all in the name of entertainment.
Call me a hypocrite all you want, but I will cheer for the bull every time one of these ********s steps in the ring with it.

But that's the whole point. He probably will go on a have a long and healthy life because he chooses not to be a daft twatt and climb into a ring and take on a half ton killing machine.

It's not ****ing rocket science.

 

[gregbrighton]

I love it that you describe Spain as a developed country!

...and I now know where the phrase, "Chutney Ferret" comes from!
