The video contains upsetting images....... this sport is the reason i would never allow a spanish member to join to forum. Any country that allows this cruelity as entertainment is abviously a retarded country... allowing a spanish IP address on this forum would be condoning this practice.. i hate the spanish for allowing this, they are oh so brave torturing these poor animals... maybe this "sport" reflects the nation? one word, COWARDS. uk.youtube.com/watch?v=w3WvFaG2j8E&feature=related

I am with you all the way - it is disgusting and the EU should have it banned. I couldn't watch the video clip, too upsetting for me. I hve seen programes abut it on telly.
Many thanks for sharing.

they allow the animal no dignity... these idiots in tights and slippers.. after torturing the animal, bleeding it to weaken it... teasing it.. exhausting it to the point that it has given up all fight.... then using the sward on it to collapse it.. the animal is still alive... them they cut off the ears.. THE ANIMAL IS STILL ALIVE!!!!! My sister in law spends a lot of time living in Spain and i have so much disdain for the country,I disagree with anyone supporting the spanish economy so my sister in law is in my bad books when shes over there.... why does the country and more so who do the Spanish people allow this to go on? why do they find it entertaining? id love to hear their justification.. how long is it since bull baiting was abolished in the UK? yet Spain still finds it acceptable.. judge a nation on how it treats its animals. SPAIN ARE AT THE BOTTOIM OF THE BARREL AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED.

Here is an exerpt from a piece, which is on the petition site against bull-fighting, unfortunately, it is now closed. "before the "fight" the bulls have heavy weights tied to their necks for weeks to weaken them. The workers rub petroleum into their eyes to obscure their vision and beat the bull's kidneys repeatedly. They give them trandquilizers, laxatives, and drugs taht induce paralysis or a hypnotized state. They feed them a large amount of salt so they will drink a lot and become bloated and slow. Many have their horns cut down. For hours the bull is held in a tiny cage with no food or water and before the "fight" he is harpooned to cause bleeding and released into the arena. Act 1- the fighters stab the bull's neck muscles with a spiked lance and impale their spears into their shoulders. Act 2- They strike the bull with barbed harpoons. Act 3-The fighter attemps to stab the bull in the heart but often misses, usually stabbing them in the lungs which sometimes the bull vomits blood out of his nose and mouth. After stabbing the bull a number of times, they try to slice up the orans so that the bull with collapse. They will cut the spinal cord then the ears and tail. Then they will drag the bull around as the audience cheers. The horses also suffer as their vocal cords are cut out so they cant scream and approximately 200 are killed each year. Baby bullfights are real too as they are stabbed to death and the ears and tail are cut off as well. (all in front of a audience)" Barbarism at its worst. The tourists should boycott going to see the bull-fights and better still, going to Spain. Also, stop exports from Spain. Never fancied Spain as a holiday resort and that even puts me off all the more, the though of what they do to the poor defenceless bull. I love to see the bull-fighters being gored - a taste of their own medicine. Disgusting it is and to think the King and Queen of Spain allow it to take place!! Money talks!! Not only that there are many horses that are gored to death during the fights as well, which is another atrocity. I believe Portugal is another place who host the bull-fights. www.actionagainstpoisoning.com/page13/page47/Newsbullfighthorseabuse.html

I just can't watch the videos. I have seen some in the past so I am not ignorant of the atrocities of bull fights but it sickens me too the core to watch any sort suffering. Yes it has got to stop, it is barbaric to an extreme and it's about time people kept it in the media as the more people are reminded of it just maybe something will at last be done to stop it. Dripping tap and squeaking wheel etc. How come it is justified in any case.

Horrid, Micki, and yet I do believe their Royal Family go to them!! It is barbaric to say the least. I couldn't watch the videos either. Makes me puke and end up crying!! I wish the bulls would turn on the bullfighters and gore them to bits - not the horses but the poor bulls see the horses as their enemies as well.
The tourists should boycott Spain - hurt them where it hurts them most - their pockets!! Bloodthirsty people they must be to want to go and watch a poor bull, baby ones as well, being slaughtered like that! They are sadists!

Amazing, they have certainly dropped down the scale in my estimation. But then they love shooting and hunting don't they? so I suppose they aren't opposed to seeing animals being caused excruciating pain by the hand of a human. What a sad world, I wish I could change it or even do something to help it change.

Aw Lyn well said. I wish I could as well. I just wish someone would start the ball rolling and get people to stop going to that country - and any country who has them.

No I wouldn't want to see them fight any animal. If they like blood & gore so much put men against men, who think it such a sport. I to could not watch the video. Just like in Italy, their dogs are never spayed & neuter, so the have dogs running in the streets, starving & sick, as more litters are being born.
