I’m with the Bull
Posted on August 19th, 2010 in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »
Honestly, isn’t it about the time that the Spanish realized how barbaric bullfighting is?
Yesterday a bull jumped a fence and injured 40 people at a bullfight.
As Gawker describes it,
The bull tried to escape during a “recortadores,” where people tease the animal and try to get as close as possible without being gored.
I hope the bull did some damage before they slaughtered it.
Watch the humans pile on at the end, like bloodthirsty savages….

Richard, it was an Ancient sport of Minoan Crete; a more civilized version but no less perilous activity. This style still exists in southern France in the welcoming town of Chateaurenard. An engaging sport without any intended destruction, the one event we saw was to benefit for the local hospital. I have marvelous photos of this adventure that our sons enjoyed with us.
