Title: Desperate Bull kills two people
Post by: muddy on March 31, 2024, 11:19:44 AM
I was so sad to read about this utter cruelty .

My sympathy is all for the bull who was surrounded by hundreds  of jeering idiots 

I hate the suns headline of raging bull .

Poor thing trapped in a ring with hundreds of its would be murderers

Bullfighting is barbaric!  My sympathy, like Muddys, is with the bull.

Horrific, well done Mr Bull but I bet you had an awful end.  I'll never understand why tourists visit bull fighting events, particularly in Spain.

The good news is that there ended up with two dead and eight injured among the cheering idiots.
Good for the bull.

Disgusting way to treat animals, glad some got hurt in the process of their cruelty.

I loathe such cruelty and abuse of these animals.

I cannot comprehend the mentality of the humans,  not only the matadors, but the cheering crowds loving every minute of such mindless cruelty.

I read somewhere that it takes 7 years to train as a matador,  and they are paid and treated like reverred pop stars.

Vile, disgusting people.

Cruel.. cruel... These people have no respect for living things.. They torment before they eventually kill..
Tourist travel to see or take part in these events..  
The bull must be terrified.. The only thing he knows is to fight back.. But humans know better..  Disgraceful.. 
It is a pity the bull didn't get more victims..

It's awful that this continues. Not something you'd expect in a first world country these days.

But Spain is and it happens there too, unfortunately.

Mea culpa. I didn't actually read the story. I saw it was bullfighting and assumed Spain although I know it takes place elsewhere too.

I enjoy seeing clips of bull fight matadors being gored.

I also have no sympathy for jump jockeys who end up in a wheelchair.

Poor creature, lets always remember that technically these barbaric acts of middle age cruelty are against EU Law, of which Spain is a member!

For some reason people think of the Spanish as friendly and easy going .
Especially Brits who live in Spain who live in enclaves of Brits and have a poor understanding of the language 
I am a Spanish speaker and I spend half the year in Spain .
Many Spanish are aloof and cold their attitude to animals is strange .
Many love their pets especially dogs and horses .
However the dog homes are nearly all founded and run by foreign volunteers .
There are 500 dogs in the one nearest me and that is just one home .
There are several sanctuaries for horses and donkeys again run by foreigners the beautiful Iberian horse so often comes to a sad end .
The atrocities of the bull ring and bull running are evidence that the inbred cruelty of a nations traditions are still strong in Spain .

A had a friend who lived in Spain for many years and he told me how cruel the Spanish are to animals.  He found one dog dumped out in the wild with his legs tied, so he couldn't even walk to find water.  He told many stories, but that one sticks in my mind.  The use of spikes, electric shock collars or tying animals to moving motor vehicles was only banned last year !
