Another Bull gets it's own back.

[Vonhelmet]

If you will pick a fight with half a ton of angry pot roast (enormous respect to anyone who knows that reference without Googling) then you deserve everything you get.

Ditto for people who watch such things.

 

[deuse]

Full on deserved it. I cannot stand such events.

 

[Vonhelmet]

Certainly looks like it is. Bulls are naturally aggresive.

Good grief. Words fail me.

 

[Cosimo]

Bully gets his own back, great stuff.

 

[waso_dude]

wow, didn't know they could jump like that!

 

[SiD the Turtle]

I don't understand why they had to kill the bull as well, they put it in that situation, then kill it for mauling people? Does that even make any sense? Why not just tranq it.

Well they kill the bull at the end of the bullfight normally so what's the difference?

Not that I condone it at all, it's an antiquated, barbaric sport.

 

[Bunka]

10% of me feels bad for the people involved. 90% of me is thinking NICE ONE BULL!

 

[NVP]

TV footage shows spectators trying to restrain the animal - one fan grabs its tail - as it careers through the stands

LOL - muy grande cojones

 

[Belmit]

It's a word that gets overused on the internet, but that jump was epic.

It did say that it wasn't a traditional bull fight, therefore, you can't assume they poke it with metal sticks (whatever the word is). It says in the video that competitors run away from the bull, not at it.

As for banning bull fighting, do you all really purchase free range and fair trade products? No I highly doubt it, so before we kill off some of the most famous traditions why dont we tend for the chickens that never see the light of day?

I might get slated for this, but good on the bull.

honestly i couldnt give a damn if the bull took someones life at such an event.

 

[tr1cky]

Good grief. Words fail me.

Good grief, look at your signature. Words fail me.

Good grief, look at your signature. Words fail me.

He's obviously not a grammar nazi though, as he hasn't complained about the incorrect application of 'it's' in the title of the thread .

Personally I purchase free-range chicken and eggs.

Not sure why you are talking about Fair Trade, as that's an initiative to do with giving producers in developing countries a fair amount for their product.

Fact is, even though battery chickens may live their lives in small cages, pushing out eggs all day, it's still very different to getting a bull in a ring, stabbing it until it can no longer stand, all for the sake of entertainment.

That jump is more Cat like than Bull like Amazing no one was killed TBH I still can't believe that jump though!

Conditions humans have to work in should be a much greater concern than a couple of hundred bull fights a year.

So you're basically saying that if, from birth the bull's are stabbed and wound up, then it'll be fine?

 

[MarcLister]

I've heard that the bull is called Albert. Or Al for short.

 

[PiKe]

I heard he was called Abe Bull.

Good Lord, a signature that accurately describes the poster. Whatever next!

Not all traditions are good.

And while I agree that we ought to treat our food more humanely than we do, there is a difference between raising animals for food and killing them for entertainment.
