Besides, its a Spanish tradition, remember, this is the same place where you can order a burger comprised of dog. To us, thats horrid, but to them, its lunch. Also remember, this traditions end result is meat for poor families there, its all used. The bull that goes through this is considered blessed. The people, for the most part, are not cheering for the killing of the bull, but for the tradition it enfolds.

However, would I deem it cruel? Yes, I do, but I cant do much about a sport in another country.

i know it's a Spanish tradition and the bull is not wasted. it's a cultural event and the matador's are heros to them. it's just something that i'll never understand i guess... or i guess i should say agree with instead of understand. that's the way it goes though, i'm sure i do things that they wouldn't agree with or understand too.

I used that pic in our teams powerpoint project for school last semester, i needed pics of bull fighting for the Bullfighting slide. Got quite a kick out of the class, and the teacher.

Yeah..... bullfighting's stupid I agree, and cruel.. But the odd thing is that maybe they see our rodeos as being cruel somehow? >_> <_< I mean...probably cruel to the poor humans who gets stepped on, horned, or tossed around lol
