Spanish Matador gored to death

I may be horrible, but I am struggling to have any sympathy. If you spend your life stabbing bulls to death for entertainment and money, I find it really hard to sympathise when the bull finally comes out on top.

Hopefully this will lead to a review of bullfighting in Spain. I very much doubt it though.

Can't just be me that roots for the bulls.

Never understood the attraction or how it hasn't been made illegal

Natural selection in action.

Meh, good on the bull

Shame this isn't more regular.

I'm all for history and culture, but not when it brutally claims the lives of innocent and majestic animals.

It's even in the Lisbon treaty so I can't see how they're getting away with it.

Unless I've misunderstood the treaty as I can't find any information on opt outs bar the UK.

Because any movement from the government would be stomping on the rights of the Basque minority.

I'm struggling to find much to sympathise about really. It's sad that someone lost his life and I feel for his family, but am I sad for him directly? Not a bit.

Apologies for being so callous, but my immediate thought was....

Likewise, although I'm not uncertain about whether or not I am horrible. A person doing a horrible thing was killed by reasonable force in direct defence. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

I'm surprised that the "fight" wasn't rigged enough to ensure that the matador wasn't at any risk at all. Somebody messed up there.

I wouldn't have cared if the bull got into the stands and killed a dozen spectators. Killing animals slowly for entertainment in rigged "fights" is psychopathic.

Stabbed through the heart
And you're to blame
You give humans
A bad name
