Re: Burning bulls
A horse bread for racing actually wants to run. Fact!
I´m not sure a bull wants to be slowly stabbed to death, or have their heads set on fire!
As for watching such an event making one a better person, I beg to differ.
In fact I´d go as far as to say it would put one in the dwindling minority group of sadistic sick minded freaks that I consider such people to be!

There are literally hundreds of rituals and ceremonies carried out around the world of which we in the 'civilized' west disapprove.
It doesn't make us right and them wrong.

Re: Burning bulls
I have to disagree agree with you Stuboy ref right and wrong.
Unnecessary suffering to man or beast is wrong.

Re: Burning bulls
In general terms - here on this thread and elsewhere - many Brits and others are concerned about the suffering of our fellow creatures. Very laudable too. But this must be a modern idea, to imagine and concern oneself for the feelings of other humans and animals (of course, with the Brits, it's animals first and then humans). People climbed over each other in the past, with never a thought for anyone else. They still do in nine tenths of the world. We sometimes meet them today, in our modern utopias, and we think of them as psychos. We pray for 'karma' to come and strike them.
But Life and Death are constant and impartial. Don't pretend it doesn't happen.

Re: Burning bulls
Libya, ISIS, Syria and the whole of the Palestinian diaspora cannot be equated to setting live animals on fire. I don't think anyone feels that the Arabs are in it for the fun
That such a barbaric atrocity can be put on for 'entertainment' and pleasure brings shame to the nation.
I don't quite know who the 'us and them' are but anyone with an ounce of decency is not going to bandy about the word "culture" to excuse this revolting and reprehensible Behaviour
shame shame shame!
