    I agree it is horrific though.
    Poor bulls.

In a way the bulls bring this upon themselves by playing along. Jumping into the crowd doesn't help one bit.

    Typical. Try to ask someone to justify their claims that something is "just wrong" and they get all huffy and insult you. You didn't even make an argument why it was wrong for me to counter.

    I think you word confusion continues. "Infantile" doesn't actually mean "too complicated for me to understand"

    Anytime you fancy a reasoned discussion rather than an emotional outburst, happy to join you
    Fine, that's a reasonable position. But about the bull you think it is appropriate to wish death on people, rather than let them choose if they object to animal cruelty or not. Which seems inconsistent. Shouldn't you wish death on those who run battery farms and those who sell the meat and those who eat the meat?

    I was alluding to the fact that your points are not worth replying to. However. As I have mentioned (twice), death was obviously a bit of a harsh statement. I don't wish death on anyone. Yet.

    I think you will find you're the culprit where emotional outbursts are concerned.

    Why?

    Actually, no need for you to answer that. Were you to start agreeing with me, I might feel insulted, but as you're someone who's concept of articulate discussion involves saying something dumb and defending it by abusing anyone who disagrees in the manner of a drunken teenage lout, having you consider me a "****wit" is almost certainly a good thing.

    If you think comparing bullfighting to a 3 year old playing in a garden is the basis for an articulate discussion then join the other delusional cretins that abound here.
    You might want to google "Reductio ad absurdum"

    What seems to have bypassed you is that in comparing a bullfight to the actions of the three year old I have chosen a ridiculous example in order to highlight the extremity and ultimate indefensibility of your assertion that that "anyone who tortures and kills an animal deserves all he gets"

    I think suggesting that people who have grown up thinking that bullfighting is a noble sport, and don't consider it barbaric, deserve to be gored for watching a bullfight is hardly more defensible than bullfighting itself. You are both taking satisfaction in the suffering of another creature, and justifying it based on your own (arbitrary) concept of right and wrong. In fact, if you are of the opinion that human lives are worth more than bovine ones then cheering for the bull is arguably "worse".

    So, in summary, not only are you incapable of an "articulate discussion", you are a hypocrite as well.

    Of course not. I don't photograph cats, there is more than enough of that on the internet already without me adding to the problem.

    Sick bastard.
    If you try hard the head will fit in a pint glass. Actually, with kittens you can probably get the whole thing in the glass.
