1. Yeah, right... Do you know how they prepare the bulls for the fights? They put grease on the bulls' eyes so they couldn't see properly, stuff their ears with wet paper, cut off the tips of their horns, stuck a long needle to the bulls' genitals and hit them on the back around the area, where the kidneys are with heavy sand bags.
Then they go to the arena, where "the picadors" first stab sharp spears and "banderillas" onto their back and neck. (the picadors ride horses and they've cut their horses' voice tendons so that the crowd wouldn't hear them screaming of suffering, if the bulls try to defend themselves and attack the horses...)
When the
great matador arrives to the arena, the bull is already very week form all the suffering and bleeding. Then the matador stabs his sword on the bulls back a few times and people in the audience cheer for this incredibly brave man... Finally the matador cuts off the bull's ears and tail as a sign of victory and they drag it off the arena. The bull is usually still alive at this point...
Isn't this torturing to you?
2. Worthy death? I don't think it's a worthy death for any creature to be tortured by humans in the most sick ways they can come up with... I don't understand why people think that bull fights are in any ways glorious, because it isn't this strong and fearable animal that they're fighting against, since the bull is so week and confused that it doesn't even understand what is going on. Well they sell it to the audience like that, but can't they really see the truth?
3. I don't really know much about hunting foxes. Could you tell me more about it? How is it worse? All I know about fox hunts is that there are these snobbish riding clubs that go fox hunting on their fancy suits and have some picnics in the middle. I know there's this tradiniotal competition, where they try to find a fox's tail that's been hidden some where. But I think they hunt the foxes as well...
4. Why on earth would you like to take part on a bull run?
