Bet this hurt.

The bullfighter Julio Aparicio got the point in this bull fight.

They should ban this barbarism,

Yep, as can be seen in the video. He has operated on and survived, no bull🙂

I watched the video: it happened really fast.

Looked very clean, though. He was still very conscious the entire time. That must of sucked.

I wonder if he'll come back?

And, I don't mind the torture of the bull, too much: as long as they eat it after playing with their food. Carnivores play with their food all the time: just because we can do calculus, doesn't mean we can't play with ours, as well....right?

I don't prefer it, but I'm not going to lose my shit because some people like to torture animals before eating them.

Viva Matador!

You know it's always been a lifelong dream of mine to travel to Pamplona and enter the running of the bulls. The stories I heard of that rush to run for your life and depend on your physical body to keep you from danger. It's that adrenaline and thrill that just....justs..

God bless the Spaniards! 💃

What do you think is the big moral difference between torturing the animal and eating it after or just torturing and killing it? Or do you not think that either is such a big deal?

I grew up VERY poor.

I find it extremely wasteful to not eat the animal if it is killed. I am a big animal lover (no beastie), too. I am like...a huge meat eater, but I hold some of the hippie tree-hugger ideals about not killing for sport...but I also think it's okay to kill for sport as long as you eat what you kill.

There's really no dilemma for me if they do bull games, like Matador's do, as that gives the bull a chance to fight back against the a**holes mutilating it for sport. 😄

Anyway....yeah...don't waste just for sport. That's really it.

I experienced a similar thing when I used to live in Spain, it is exciting especially when you´ve had a few.

Although I have to admit Spaniards are cruel, what I saw whilst living in Andalucia was well sad. Setting dogs on fire, torturing cats and such barbaric acts. Dunno if its still the same as this was a long time ago.

OW ****

But on the topic of this. I was under the assumption that the bull essentially 'fights for his life', otherwise they kill the bull and then eat it?

Jesus, I cringed for sure. Power to the bull, though, I suppose.

Serves the bastard right.

Bull fighting is so banal and cruel.

I'll agree with dadudemon on that topic. So long as they eat it, it's fine. Better letting the bull fight back than simply putting it down, anyway.

On top of that, it's part of the Spanish culture, and something I find fascinating.

i agree....does everyone here know that when a bullfighter "fights" a bull they stab them to death and sometimes only until they are weak and then they let them bleed out.....

IMO the matador should get this treatment afterward to make it even

so this video appeases me
