TOMO it was banned it Catalonia but that had been on the cards for years, even Hemmingway said it was out of place there 70 years ago. I wouldnt have seen a corrida in catalonia anyway just like I wouldnt go in one of their plastic flamenco bars.

It was banned in that region more for cultural reasons more than anything wasn't it? A way of differentiating themselves from the Spanish in the rest of the country..

Hemmingway wrote a good short story about bullfighting in Men without woman. Not a bad read.

 

Had a mate whos dad was a long distance driver who did a lot in Spain, who done the bull run. Caught in the moment, with bulls heading his way, he hopped onto a low wall, about 3ft. The bulls came charging and he hopped off the wall backwards, down 15ft, and snapped a leg and crunched the other ankle. He got back to the uk somehow, but spent a serious amount of time in ozzy.

The bullfights were my passion for many years and I hope one day to go back to spain to follow the bulls again (after the babys a bit older) I'm not going to go into it here as I would end up feeling the same as arguing about fox hunting with an anti, frustrated, if you enjoy it no reason is necessary if you dont 'get' it no explanation is possible.

 

One thing I will say, its not a sport and you would never hear anyone who loves the bulls describe it as such. In spain its protected as part of the nations culture and heritage, they have done better at protecting their culture than we have here.

 

If you dont like the look of it then at the very least dont demean yourself or lower yourself to the level of an anti by gobbing off and offering an opinion on something you have no knowledge nor experience of.

 

If anyone genuinely has an interest in the bulls and has any questions I will do my best to answer them.

You seriously can't be comparing bullfighting with fox hunting, are you? Ones a wild pest, hunted in its natural environment given fair law. The others a trapped animal, horns filed, getting slowly killed by an egotistical fanny surrounded by morons baying for its blood. No comparison. It's a sick form of entertainment, nothing more.

No i'm not comparing the 2 in any way i'm comparing people who rage against it with no knowledge or experience. Just like with foxhunting or indeed people who eat 6 week old electrocuted chickens in fast food shops I dont need nor want to defend myself to people who think otherwise. Iv seen the inside workings of both foxhunting and the bullfights in spain, I really have no interest in defending either to someone who has already decided i'm a moron.

DIDO compared his feelings on the two as similar not the actual acts themselves.

Watched it but would never again, still dont bother me about anyone else watching it,

if you dont like something then dont do it again and leave those that do to their own devices, not hurting me
