This is correct. It is quite rare though. This honour is bestowed on the bull by the crowd or the matador if they feel the bull has fought well. The bull is patched up and retired from the ring and can, indeed, be put out to stud. I have seen bullfighting on TV during my many visits to areas of the Europe where it has been broadcast. The first time I watched it was through curiosity and I did so with a little trepidation. I was surprised, however, that I was more caught up with the spectacle of the event itself rather than repulsed by the blood thirsty nature of it. MC Just say it "Gave you a boner" and we would likely believe you more. |

I forgot to point out that fighting bulls are indeed *bulls*, not steers: a not insignificant factor when considered from the bull's point of view. One should also take into account the fact that these bulls have been carefully bred for their homicidal quailties over a period of centuries, and today are the bovine equivalents of Hannibal Lecter. (True story: A Miura bull once charged a passing steam locomotive, hit it broadside, and actually derailed the train in the process of turning himself into hamburger.) |

Maybe if your country wasnt so backass 3rd world, where all they know to do is to FU^k 24 hours per day and pop out babies, maybe they wouldnt need so many orphanages. Uh, my country is the United States, where -among other things- we know how to use both commas *and* condoms. Also, how many young children do you know are able to eat steak? (Note for the homebound: Even in "backass 3rd world" countries they've heard of hamburger. Not to mention fire.) BTW: Winnie The Pooh was a carnivore; which explains why we haven't heard much from Christopher Robin lately. |

I've seen a bullfight. The bulls are tortured and bled until they are weakened so the guy with the cape and the swords doesn't risk all that much. At least in a slaughterhouse the death is quick. Ask yourself. Would you like your death to consist of being stabbed with darts and left to bleed until someone sticks a sword into you or have a quick relatively painless end? |

I'd pick instant death. I would not like to be killed slowly. The fight is not fair. If it was they would let the bull kill the fallen matador. And the whole show is disgusting, people being entertained by spilling blood. DanP |

The half-ton bull, called Opiparo, struck after Julio Aparicio lost his footing and stumbled while carrying out a pass with is red cape in a packed Las Ventas bullring. One of the animal's horns tore into his throat and punched through the bottom of his mouth as the crowd screamed in horror at the bullfight last night.

I dont feel sorry for the aholes who keep building and living in flood plains and who keep losing their houses here in the US either. Maybe we should feel sorry for you. MC |
