You're very welcome.  I am absolutely crazy about animals, and I hate to see them injured, so it infuriates me that people set this on the same level as bull fighting.

I will!

I like the picture and the description of it. I'm gald this isn't a bullfight and I'm glad you condemn animal cruelty (I remember your FB post about it). ^^ I guess I don't agree totally with that course either but I'm feeling glad the bull isn't abused in the arena by some stupid and cruel toreros... I like the movement and the details of the sand and dust that are thrown into the air by the bull's foot. ^^

Well people are entitled to their own opinions. And i agree with anyone who says animals should not be abused or tortured for fun. ...but many just comment without thinking or even taking their time to really see what it is about

thank you for your comment

LordGuardian In reply to UpsideDownCross [2013-06-04 11:13:57 +0000 UTC]

I'm not defending this sport, but as I said many times before, the bull was not hurt, there was no violence applied towards this animal except making it run. I was there for the whole 15-20 minutes the animal was in the arena, i saw him come in and i saw him go out again. He probably got nosebleed from running, as physical activity and can sometimes cause it (faster heart rate/higher blood pressure making the mucosa bleed)

This bullshit with bulls should be banned. It is cruel.

LordGuardian In reply to LaArtist85 [2013-06-04 11:18:35 +0000 UTC]

Yes, this is the case with most sports involving animals and I agree with you. At least, if it reassures you, this is a non-bloody tradition. There is no physical violence towards the animal (except making it run). I even have never seen a course where they forced the bull to run, they merely tease him. Sometimes if the bull is just tired or bored and stands around without 'attacking' the round just ends prematurely and another one is brought in.

This is a great and kinda funny picture; I like it and I'm tired of people whining about animal abuse. It's probably just as fun for the animal as it is for the humans. I mean, it's running. That's what animals do for fun.

LordGuardian In reply to bluevelvetwings [2013-06-04 11:23:02 +0000 UTC]

Haha, i wouldn't go as far as say that it is fun for the animal, but as i said some times already, apart from having some stress and feeling exhausted after those 20 minutes or so the round lasts the bulls are not harmed.

And what do you think animals "like" to do, hm? What makes you assume this isn't enjoyable for them? You can't read their minds any better than I can, dear, and therefore my opinion is just as valid as yours.

Canis-Infernalis In reply to bluevelvetwings [2013-05-28 18:48:25 +0000 UTC]

i can't read minds, but i can read BODY LANGUAGE, and if you can't i would suggest to study it, it's easy

the problem is that it's not an opinion, it's a fact that they don't enjoy it
