Bullfighting Poll.
 
Right, it had to happen, lets try not to fight, just vote, it doesn't mean a thing I know but lets just see.


Well yet again the poll didn't work, don't know why but its not the first time, so lets just take a hand count eh?

I have stayed out of the Bullfighting fray so far, but here goes:

Bullfighting, on those rare occurances when it goes perfectly, or even well can be IMO a artfull if not beautiful event to witness. One has to submerge oneself into the event, to partake of the Fiesta if you will...a bota of good Ribera del Duero Tinto, a bocata de chorizo or Longaniza...and someone well versed in the Fiesta to explain it to you. I have witnessed events so skillfully done they made you want to cry...especially those done in the Rejon style (all on horseback)- some of the most perfectly trained Andaluz Stallions in the world.

For those who wish to see a small sample of Rejoneo:

That being said, very often it is a bloody, awful spectacle to witness that also leaves one needing a good cry.

I guess after my 30 year love affair with Spain and all things Spanish, I still am ambivilant on the subject

Have NEVER been to a bull fight, do not want to, but have been into bull ring up in Mijas Pueblo, the smell is enough to put anyone off for life.

Our son, who agrees with everything Spanish, says that the meat from the bull fights goes to the orphanages/childrens hospitals,, do not know if true or not ??

Good on you Mrs jdr, I dont personally think anyone should be forced to do something they dont want to.

The bit about the meat is true. I am trying to remember what it is called, it has a specific name.
