It was just a matter of time: Fans mourn, opponents cheer Barcelona's last bullfight - Polidicks

That's kind of sad, seeing a bullfight in Barcelona was something I wanted to definitely cross off my bucket list while I'm living here in Europe.

yay go bulls

Damn, I always wanted to see one of those bullfights.

[QUOTE='[sluggo];32494720']Damn, I always wanted to see one of those bullfights.[/QUOTE] conservatives getting disappointed this last bullfight thing keeps getting better and better

[QUOTE=Bredirish123;32494639]That's kind of sad, seeing a bullfight in Barcelona was something I wanted to definitely cross off my bucket list while I'm living here in Europe.[/QUOTE] It's still going on in the other regions, this is only one region dropping it

Plus if I'm not mistaken there is still bullfighting in Mexico/parts of South America

[QUOTE=OvB;32494456]I don't think a cup is going to help much from a pointed horn...[/QUOTE] It doesn't have to stop it, it just has to deflect it! Then it would go right into your thigh right about where...the....femoral...artery...is. Oh.

I think being stabbed and tackled at the same time by a half-ton+ bull will hurt regardless of where you're hit.

Are people seriously complaining about culture here? By that logic there should still be slaves fighting lions in Rome despite what's morally right

i always thought that matadors looked very dashing, and some of the bull slaying reminded me of like, monster slaying kind of stuff which i thought was cool. but overall this is a disgusting practice that i'm glad is ending and i wish it was banned everywhere.

[QUOTE=Lachz0r;32495625]i always thought that matadors looked very dashing, and some of the bull slaying reminded me of like, monster slaying kind of stuff which i thought was cool[/QUOTE] Except bulls aren't monsters, they're just regular animals being forced to be tortured against their will. Kind of like pokemon!

[QUOTE=GunFox;32495675]I would totally pay to watch a little Spaniard in tight pants fight a dragon.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't, would you like to see my avatar being stabbed repeatedly?

[QUOTE=Slithersoul;32495731]I wouldn't, would you like to see my avatar being stabbed repeatedly?[/QUOTE] Man, have you ever seen an angry hippo? Good luck with that. Makes a bull look like a kitten. That hippo would slaughter anyone who poked him. So the answer is an emphatic yes! EDIT: (I'm kidding. Obviously.)

hippos are the dragons of africa

Back on-topic though, my favorite cattle breed is the Chianina [img]http://www.corbisimages.com/images/YA011854.jpg?size=67&uid=8600ae30-32f2-499c-ba45-95cd5da5513c[/img] LOOK at that giant sexy beast

It's animals like these that make me wonder why we need to make up dragons or monsters, when we have real animals that could easily qualify as legendary. Fuck the Minotaur, we have hippos. Fuck unicorns, we have Rhynos and bulls! Fuck dragons, we have whales who's skulls alone dwarf us!

Nerdrant.

[QUOTE=No Party Hats;32491843]Be that as it is, it's still a terrible thing to take away. That's like removing Baseball or Football in America. We'd be losing a massive part of our culture.[/QUOTE] No it's more like removing Dolphin slaughter in Japan.

Is over there, but there are a lot to do in the rest of the country. The argument that have the pro-bullfight people is that without bullfighting, the bull will become useless and it will end extinct. And with it, all the "special nature zones" where they born and grown, because is not longer profitable. I dont think that that will happen.

[QUOTE=Slithersoul;32497209]Yeah but blue whales are still the biggest in terms of size Although any large friendly animals are awesome since they'll let you stroke them and stuff[/QUOTE] I wouldn't advice getting within touching distance of a blue whale without it coming to you. A strike from a whale fluke would ruin your vacation.

It even sadder to know some people won't travel there anymore just because of bullfighting.

[QUOTE=Maximo13;32492694]As said, these bulls are bred for this.[/QUOTE] That doesn't mean they don't feel pain. 300 years of bull fighting doesn't cause the animal to evolve into some sort of painless super bull. By that logic we should just skin all productive animals while they're still alive because they're bred to be killed.

HAHA fuck you spain! GO BULLS only fuckin monkeys enjoy watching those bullfights

The bull doesn't lose all the time guys. NSFW [url]http://freddyo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/bullfight550.jpg[/url]

Wow, you guys are actually supporting this? This is part of the culture and just killing an old tradition off like that is just really dumb in my opinion. All the while being hypocrites and eating your burgers and chicken.
