Here are two Spanish greats. The bull and the fighter.
Watch the dancing horses in this one.
The previous are how "El Toro" dies.
This is how "El Toro" lives.
"Although there are many who condemn bull fighting as cruel and barbaric, the way the Spanish regard and treat their bulls is a stark contrast to what has been happening in our live cattle export trade." [/left]......No fair enough that seems to be a perfectly reasonable idea
^^^ I'm not convinced.
In both scenarios we see animals cruelly slaughtered - how is one any better than the other?
Best bull fighting is in Portugal an south of France as they do not kill or harm the bull, they challenge it and then when it run at them they:
1. In Portugal wait for it and try to stop it only with their bodies and hands.
2. In France they run in front of it and attempt to catch the "cocarde" attached between the horns.
That is real courage and skills.
No blood bath and animal cruelty. After a fight the meat is saturated with adrenalin and improper for consumption.
Its funny how its one on one until the bullfighter F's up then its 20 on one. I hope he had a slow torturous death like the bulls he killed in the past big hero
What part of this picture does not look cruel to you?
Being a matador is like kitesurfing in NSW westerlies. No matter how hard you try and stack the deck in your favour, every once and a while you are going to come off second best:

[In your opinion the bull fighter cruelly slaughters the animal.]
The bull is brought into an arena completely alien to its experience where there are thousands of screaming spectators trumpets etc then it is stuck with barbed spears in its shoulder muscles so that it has minimal chance of defending itself and every time it moves the spears agitate its nerves then it is disorientated by horses capes etc
No nothing cruel about this just good clean heroic fun not
