I thought so too.


Some posters are very intuitive I feel.

The spaniards of old don`t really care about the welfare of animals... the thing about `keeping pets` is a relatively new` idea.. and when I say `new` I mean in the last 15 years or so. Spain isn`t in the dark ages, I know... but their way of thinking is well, if he is shagging the dog then he is leaving the kids and the women alone. Im sorry, I will have upset loads of people, Im sure ... but ...... I remember being in Spain - not tourist areas - when I was a kid and the animal cruelty was horrendous. When I cried the other kids laughed at me and couldn`t understand why it bothered me so much.

Hey, you're the one that said the locals don't mind what the guy does, you also said the police think it's OK for you to shoot and wound a guy.
I don't give a stuff about animals - I eat them, probably wouldn't kill one myself but thats why we have butchers, and if I want an afternoon out sometimes I'll go the Zoo.

What he did and the fact he did it in front of your kids I fund a little destasteful, but I accept that in many parts of the world - animal love and worse is OK - maybe the case that it is tolerated in Spain? seems to be? Move to a country that is more aligned to your sensibilities if you're out of step?

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

Can you imagine what would have happened in the UK if you shot at someone like that??

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

Tony Martin did and he is free.

Yet in many places in Africa its an every day hazard, I don't like the idea of that - so don't go there.
Yet some people who idolise animals move to Spain - weird - did the Bullrings not give them a clue of what might be considered "good form"??

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

I love a good bullfight.



We haven't had a bullfighting thread on here for ages!

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

Tony Martin was jailed for being stupid. Had he been a bit more careful he would have had a chance of getting away with it.

Those soco boys know their stuff.

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

That man should have been given a medal not been locked up

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

and he is free.

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

Unfortunately in the UK it is considered extremely bad form to shoot someone in the back when they are trying to get away from you.

That's what makes it murder. Had their wounds been in the front, that's another thing.

He's free now, true.

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

There you go simplifying things again.

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

There are worse faults to have.

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

Yeah, like dog shagging.

Re: Not for the faint hearted
 

soco - should know but don't, please elucidate.
