Answer 1

i agree with you xx

Answer 2

I think it's cruel, humiliating, and overworking to the poor bulls!  I think it's horrific as well.  I mean, we don't KNOW that they "enjoy it", do we???

Answer 3

hate it.

Answer 4

i hope the old cnut gets a horn rammed up his azz, it's a cruel and pointlees form of torture.

Answer 5

I hate it.It's cruel and barbaric.

I'd love to turn the bulls loose on the crowds,let them know what it felt like to be totally helpless and scared to death

Answer 6

Sick yes, but let's not forget that the vast majority of meat that we eat is the result of animals being killed (and I might add) being kept, under very stressful conditions.

Answer 7

Most people in Britain think it's barbaric and unnecessary in the 21st Century. However, this is a Spanish tradition going back hundreds of years and should be respected. It will only be stopped when the Spanish people want it to be stopped (or those wonderful unelected mandarins at the EU get their claws into it).

Answer 8

I despise it with a passion.

Answer 9

Vile. It has no place in  civilised society. I cannot understand how thousands of people can cheer as an animal is tortured to death.

Answer 10

It's an awful tradition. Just like many are. All the cruelty of the human race will come back to haunt us.

Answer 11

Not for me either!

Answer 12

I don't understand it at all, I wouldn't watch it.

Answer 13

horrific, barbariouse, cruel just to feed the humans blood lust

Answer 14

It's a barbaric, degrading spectacle.  And it degrades the  warped people who watch, totally.  Other and more civilised countries coud help put an end to it by making it illegal for their nationals to attend, on the same basis as the prosecution of s*x tourists in British courts for crimes committed in other countries.  As well as other countries' police filming at bull fights, the RSPCA, ISPCA and others could take part.  It would be good to bring some of these refuse up before a British court, just as though they had been involved in dogfighting or cockfighting here.  Bring it on!

Answer 15

Cruel and sadistic.

Answer 16

Doesn't seem to be a fair fight to me, the matador has training while all the bull has is wild rage through having so many spears stuck into it.

Answer 17

you can see http://www.easyforbuy.com it is good !

Answer 18

I would feel better about it if the bullfighter had the same chance to die as the bull, and if the bull won he would get to live happily to old age.  

That said, I think a bull all full of bull testosterone would rather die fighting than to die in an assembly line.

Answer 19

totally barbaric

Answer 20

Totally horrific, the bulls don't even have a chance. They are alledgedly not fed prior to "The Fight" and are alledgedly, drugged before hand ,  

Answer 21

It wouldn't be so bad if they didn't weaken the bull first.  Let a good, young pissed off bull in there all full of pi$$ and vinegar, then it would be a fight.  And what with the armor on the horse, the horse shouldn't get armor.  It is totally advantagous to the human.  It should be even, if the horse gets aromor the bull should get armor, if they are going to punch a hole in it's neck so it slowly bleeds out, the should tie up on leg on the matador.  Make it fair, then it owuld be worth a watch, man vs beast.  As it is, it's just BS.

Answer 22

Sick.

Answer 23

thats just torture ill never understand why peeps find it entertaining its so inhuman  

Answer 24

Like Bear baiting-it is cruel and primitive-they 'trap' an animal in the ring then torment and kill it! Sad!

Answer 25

it is not a fight, it is a barbaric and perverted way to slaghter an animal........

Answer 26

Absolutely disgustingly cruel. The only good bit is when the bulls get revenge.

Answer 27

I find it disgusting and about as current in entertainment as gladiator fights. The word "matador" means "killer" or "murderer" in Spanish, did you know that? That says it all. I feel the same way about bullfighting as I do dogfighting, cockfighting, rodeos, factory farms, fur farms, vivisection/lab testing and circuses: while they may have had their day, civilized society's collective consciousness has grown and matured since then. People should therefore see that these things have no place in any society anywhere. These are cruel, inhumane and pointless practices that offer nothing except cheap thrills in the monkey house, so to speak. It's barbaric and extremely unfair. The matador is seen as a macho man, deserving of admiration and all he is doing is harrassing, torturing and slowly killing an animal that has no idea what's going on. Someone said we don't know if they enjoy it. Since they are stabbed repeatedly and finally killed, I'd say it's safe to guess they probably don't.  

Answer 28

F***ING SICK, all animals should only be killed for food without causing any stress, no animal should be killed for sport/pleasure...

Answer 29

I agree with you, I think it's abhorrent.

Answer 30

Vicious

Usually a boost to some testosterone fuelled guys ego .
