All wanted is some laser bulls, is that too much to ask?

You think standing in front of a charging bull and hanging on between the horns is "gay". You must know some "mtherfckin" tough gays then!

Boris whadda ya say, ready for a try? It must be some kinda wild ride

I'm opposed to killing any animal (I seldom eat meat), so killing an animal just for "fun" is the worst thing that can be done. Most animals kill because of instinct, people kill for "fun", (so, on another topic: I'd say, the electrical chair should get to this country)

I simply can't see why we should "play" with the bulls (to annoy them), then kill them for "fun"...that simply just doesn't make any sense at all

For those who's for bullfighting:

Try to be in the bulls place. A lot of people annoys you, plays with you (which you think is annoying), then getting killed at the end...

Now would you say this is fun???

If you want to kill a bull, shoot it.

Why place some mincing catamite in buttock-hugging tights to poke it with pins? Bunch of closet cases.

In fact, there's your new sport for you. "Gimp bullfighting". One bull. One man. One M-16.

"Sport", as in who can make the bull suffer the most before killing it?

Sometimes the bull wins.

Perhaps one thing can be true, and everybody can agree, the same for the bulls and the british foxes.

Convince the people first, and then let the whole society to ban or change their customs and traditions, but don't try to forbid them so soon because it creates a lot of conflict.

Every opinion poll in recent years shows the majority of Britons want foxhunting banned. The fact that it's still legal is a tribute to the ability of a few inbred toffs to dominate the legal system.

Got any stats on that Dino?
Lets say over the last ten years : number of Bulls killed vs number of Bullfighters killed.

The bull never wins. Sometimes the matedor also loses.

I find I cannot fairly condemn bullfighting whilst at the same time ignoring the fact that billions of animals are killed yearly for food.

Then why ignore it?

You are wrong this time, sometimes the bull is indulted, but only if the bullfighting was very good.

Sorry if I have ofended some gay with my bad use of the word "gay" , I heard how those children in South Park series used it and I considered it would be the best translation for a word in Spanish: "mariconada".

Excuse me please.

Ok, guys, you have convinced me, killing animals and torture them are terrible things, there is no need in killing animals for fun in such a cruel and tortous way.

But I still like that moment when the Torero and the bull seem to be dancing on the Arena, a tragic dance of the death. What can I do? Those "Chicuelinas" are so pretty, and the receiving of the bull "a porta gañola" is so exciting, and here comes a "Veronica", and then a "Media Veronica", they seem to be so joined, and finally, the end.

It cannot be finished in a vulgar way, the killing has to be clean, in one touch, fast and perfect.

I still like it, when it happens "beatifully".

Where i come from, Moose hunting is a ritual that is religiously observed. Companies schedule their annual shutdown and maintenance around that 3 week period because about 75% of men are in the woods.
We kill the great beast in a civilized manner : 30-06, 9mm or .308 are the weapons of choice. One or two shots are usually needed and the death is swift, if not painless.

And then we cut off the head, strap it on the hood of the car and drive up and down main street to show it to the wusses who couldn't get one...

[Sandman]

Then why ignore it?

I like meat, and I don't care about farm animals.
