Bull Fighting. Your opinion?

[Finesthour 7,284]

I honestly don't care.

If people wanna kill bulls for fun, let 'em do it.

[Kyreth 193]

I disagree with it. Killing an animal for meat is one thing, but stabbing it repeatedly until it bleeds to death is unnecessarily cruel.

 

Then again, I have never seen a bullfight or lived in a country where its acceptable so perhaps its not my place to judge. Still, I would personally rather it stopped altogether.

And your kind watches mlp...

[RDashFan85 46]

They deserve what they get. When I saw that bull shove his horn inside that guys throat even tho he lived He deserved it. I hate Bull Fighting. I will never watch it.

[Runty 41]

personally i dont mind it, as it is part of their culture, it barely harms the environment and i'v learned to tolerate other cultures. Aren't we suppoed to love and tolerate? Besides, why only target this and not drug testing on rodents, or poaching of black rhino's, when they cut the horn off without even showing enough mercy to kill them?

What's that supposed to mean? People who don't agree with you on animal rights can't watch MLP?

Love and toleration was meant as a way to deal with trolls. People would troll bronies, and the bronies saidinstead of getting pissed, I'm going to love and tolerate you." They didn't even mean it. It was a counter trolling thing. Trolls want you to get pissed off, so if your only response is "whatever, still love you bro", they will eventually get bored, or even get pissed themselves.

Love and toleration was never meant to extend to every single goddamn thing on the planet. You don't love and tolerate rapists. You don't love and tolerate terrorism.

Sorry, it just bugs when I see people saying "love and toleration!" at every single controversial thing. I mean, yeah, accepting people is good, but if you disagree with something, disagree with it. Don't let MLP come between you and your own opinions.

No, just surprised that people who dont care watch it. I accept people having different opinions that me, thats fine, but the whole concept of not caring either way I find ignorant.

Well, wouldn't that be the same as being surprised that someone who likes eating hamburgers likes MLP? Those animals are treated just as bad if not worse than the bulls used in bullfighting. People who eat meat (that are not animals they raised or hunted themselves) does not care about the animal suffering enough to not eat it.

[Magnus 69]

Hey, I eat meat, but buy it from local farms and know how those animals are treated.(Back in the day I actually controlled several of them) Eventually become friends with the people who run them because they treat them with respect.

I refuse to eat massproduced meat, even if Norwegian standards are way ahead of many other countries.

 

Having worked with animal protection my entire life(and getting tired of "facebook warriors" who have done squat in reality)

No, quite alot of that comes from ignorance, alot of those people have no idea what is actually happens to all the livestock...Or they think its an exaggeration.

 

Also, there is a huge difference between killing animals for food, and killing them for the sake of entertainment.

[Evilshy 5,089]

Wait... So you think it's strange that a person who doesn't have strong opinions on animal rights is watching MLP? How does that even make sense?

[RDashFan85 46]

It's just a pointless and dangerous sport. I don't see how that is fun.

It's disgusting and ranks right up there with cockfighting. There is a reason it's illegal in most of the cultured world.

[Princess Ariona 402]

I agree with you for the most part, but the "human gets all the injuries" part makes you no better really.

 

Sorry but I grew up loving animals and nature more than humans. I don't care if it makes me any better or not.

My opinion? Sigh... I actually have a few contradicting opinions on the matter, so I'll go with "mixed" or "indifferent". Though, I have never watched a bull fighting game so I cannot really comment on it.

Quote

The bull is not an aggressive animal, and the reason he is angry and attempts to charge at the matador whilst in the bullring is mainly because he has been horrendously abused for the previous two days. In fact, what spectators see is not a normal, healthy bull, but a weakened, half-blinded and mentally destroyed version, whose chances of harming his tormentors is virtually nil. The bull has wet newspapers stuffed into his ears; vaseline is rubbed into his eyes to blur his vision; cotton is stuffed up his nostrils to cut off his respiration and a needle is stuck into his genitals. Also, a strong caustic solution is rubbed onto his legs which throws him off balance. This also keeps him from lying down on the ground. In addition to this, drugs are administered to pep him up or slow him down, and strong laxatives are added to his feed to further incapacitate him. He is kept in a dark box for a couple of days before he faces the ring: the purpose of this is to disorientate him. When he is let out of the box, he runs desperately towards the light at the end of the tunnel. He thinks that at last his suffering is over and he is being set free — instead, he runs into the bullring to face his killers and a jeering mob.

I am against bull fighting, such animal cruelty, and even times where the bull fighter ends up dying. Kinda stupid? Though if you are there in person, it gets quite intense, which is why they do it....
