......has left the stadium.

Well, you wanted to see a bull fight!

Whatever the rights or wrongs of bullfighting, one does have to marvel at the athleticism of the beast; that leap-up over the wall and barrier would`ve put an Olympic hurdler to shame!

I think a Race horse would have had a job to clear that

There arent any rights. At least the poor bull managed to wound a few of the sad tossers who like to see animals tortured to death.

i have never seen a stand get cleared of people so quickly, LMAO

That is some athletic bull.

Bullfighting divides the Spanish themselves.

In Catalunia they have pressed to outlaw bullfighting and yet by the same token encourage tying burning braziers (hope that is the right spelling) to young bulls horns and then torment the poor thing for 30 or 40 minutes. It really is a very strange culture.

sorry varche but imo torturing and killing animals is not a culture , thats violence..

if they will eat, kill immediately ok.. but not a plaything..

Bullfighting is Spanish culture whether we like it or not ergo fox hunting is English culture.

Not that I condone fox hunting because I don't but at least the fox had a slim chance of escape to freedom unlike a Spanish bull

Evening Tony, hope you're well. I used to be anti fox hunting & allsorts when i was young & full of rebellion. Age/mental laziness & another outlook have calmed me over the years & given me a more tolerant & understanding view on such things to the point where i get more irritated by the protesters/saboteurs & pillocks who release animals into the wild that will die a nastier death than where they were or breed & wipe out other species. Foxhunting & bullfighting are by no means pleasant pastimes but life's not perfect. Some things are just the way they are & misgiuded idealsm will never change the world. If it did then the world would be a very clincal uninspiring place.

    Let's hunt the saboteurs instead.

The English dont hunt foxes anymore, it has been outlawed on account of it being the sport of chinless cretins. The sooner the spanish stop torturing bulls and throwing donkeys off church towers ect for fun the better.
Calling such moronic practices 'culture' only encourages idle spaniards to provide dense tourists with such thrilling attractions

That was the theory .......  :-?

Yep not bad Guy same sh1t different day thanks for asking :yAs some of you will know I participate in field sports and have a generel love and understanding of country life I also appreciate that the fox has population has to be controlled. But there are far more humane, efficient and cost effective and less destructive ways to reduce the fox population than dressing up in a red coat sitting on a horse and following a pack of dogs and a bloke blowing a horn.
