I noticed that the bull went after the guy in the red t-shirt.

It probably went after him because it thought he was a Man Utd fan. So not a dumb animal after all.

Well, I'd agree that bullfighting is barbaric, but then so is squishing a worm so that it's innards spurt out. Where do you draw the line on what is acceptable? Does the fact he's three make it less bad than if I had done it?

I am sticking to my original point that a 3 year old child forming infant notions of right and wrong, is slightly different to a group of grown adults making the conscious decision to participate in a barbaric sport.

i.e. - not really comparable.

It's one dumb animal. They were people. Anyone who wants to see people hurt for the sake of an animal is crazy IMHO.

Not if said people take pleasure in taunting/torturing the animal. They get what they deserve since that's what they came to see.
**** em all I say and good for the bull

Does the three year old charge admission to watch and sell TV rights? Clueless chunt

Would bullfighting be more acceptable if they didn't charge admission? Or if there was no audience?

WSS. Doodab you're really coming out with a load of undergraduate cock, which I find disappointing given your sometimes intelligent posts.

No.

Educating that animals aren't to be tortured for the fun of it?

Why not? Can you give an answer other than "because it's obvious" or "because it's wrong"?

After all, cats torture their prey.

It's interesting how quickly supposedly civilised people turn into wannabe vigilantes and animal-rights-terrorist-sympathisers when they don't get to eat the animal. Where's the thread on battery-farming? Seriously, that's terribly cruel and affects millions of animals simply for our entertainment... cheap meat is entertainment not subsistence.

The hole you're digging just keeps getting bigger...

Your inability to articulate your reasoning and point out why you have a difference of opinion with doodab is revealing. At least other cretins like SB are conversant with a discussion.

Cats have a natural instinct to play with their prey because it's the only way they can make a kill without risking injury.

As a responsible parent, I would hope to explain to my son that animals do not exist for humans to torture.
