So that's what happens when the bull wins.

oh godddddddddddddddd

What he said.

holy **** that was insane

Yikes! And also, Sweet Merciful Crap!!

Well, bullfighters do deserve that.

Still ouchie!

haha owned

The bullfighter walked out of the ring, the bull didn't. Not so owned.

That bull would rather die on his feet than live life on his knees.

Oh god, the metador was impaled. Luckily he could be treated immediately by the well trained medical team! Thank god the bull is still going to be impaled by a couple dozen of spears until it can't stand on it's feet no more. Then they're just going to kill it... While a crowd is cheering.

Oh civilized humanity, how I love thee

"You fight like a dairy farmer."
"How appropriate. You fight like a co-AAARRRGH!"

It's ugly but that's not too bad for a bull fight. Assuming he didn't have any major veins or arteries punctured, that's not too serious of damage... He'll recover from it, have a funny scar and a cool story.

That said bullfighting is stupid. I feel no remorse for any matador that gets hurt or killed in the ring.

Apparently he isn't in very good shape.

Also I wonder if the horn slid back out or if the bull bucked his head and rent the mans jaw in two? Also I wonder if it cracked any of his teeth.

Looks painful. Can't say I feel bad for him though, guy's job is torturing animals as entertainment.

Kind of reminds me of this story: Man Survives After Being Impaled on Bathroom Faucet.

too bad faucetface didn't have any photos or video

Good.

Oh I bet, I just meant that he could get lucky, or it could be much worse. Like a horn through the torso for example.

Yeah very true man.

He's apparently ok now.

i thought the exact same thing

Oh well.

If he doesn't get it stitched up he could really entertain some people. . .if you know what I mean.

Like eating a meal through two mouths.

It would be really awesome if he would build some kind of vertical platform in his jaw. That would be one great way to eat your meal

dude, no it wouldn't eating your meal the normal way is the best of ways ugh agh

Why do people ***** about bull fighting so much? Yeah it's cruel, but it gives the animal a chance to fight back... Better than the millions of cows who's brains we splat a day for our fast food feast...

Really... Why even bother acting like you care?

Because they often drug the bulls before they release them. It's like if you're drunk and you're forced into a swordfight with a sober guy, only you're still going to be slaughtered by some **** even if you win.

At least in a slaughterhouse they stun the animals before they quickly off them rather than just stick them with blades for "entertainment".

.

Why do we care when an animal is tortured to death instead of killed in much more humane ways?
If you have to ask the question I really don't know how to answer...

Maybe I'll just say that it's widely accepted when animals are killed to provide us with food and clothing, but when they are killed for entertainment it is seen as very wrong.

One death is not the same as another, and citing a comparison like that just doesn't work. We send people overseas to fight in wars and kill hundreds of people, but kill one back home and it's a crime. Say it like that and it seems extremely illogical. But then you aren't looking at the big picture.
(don't take that to mean I'm all for any and all wars, or any specific one either)

I don't see how killing them one way is any different from locking them up and forcing them to do tricks until the end of their life. Either way sounds like death to me.

There's a lot of ways people like to 'justify' killing animals. Humane or not, they're going to die. And like I said, regardless of the bull being stunned or drugged, they still get a chance to fight back. Unlike most animals.

I'm not saying doing anything you want to an animal is okay, I'm simply saying that most places people assume 'humane' killings are happening, it's a lot less so than you think.

It's not a real chance to fight back though, it's just ****ing about with it before it's killed. :/

It's more just a case of there's killing, then theres being twisted.

Forcing them to do tricks? Are you referring to animal training? That's an extremely separate issue, one where you delve into the quality of the life of the animal, which in many cases is arguably very good.




I don't see how this facade of fighting back makes anything any better, or even any worse... It's just stupidity.


You assume too much about what I think, and I've worked in slaughterhouses, the killing is very quick and virtually painless, they take mere moments to die and being the placid animals they are (talking about cows here) they don't even struggle, and being the stupid animals they are they'll follow each cow into death without a single worry.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not really jumping up and down and screaming foul play, and I'm far too lazy and apathetic to go protest such a thing, but I can see the protesters point of view. It's all about how the killing happens, and why.
Killing for sport is always looked down upon and protested.

Mess with the bull, get the horns.

Bull fighting is a stupid sport, and the heritage argument just suggests that their heritage is kind of stupid.

But I'm not going to worry myself over it because nature is a lot more cruel. If a bull were to be taken down by predators, it would certainly suffer at least as much, and might end up getting eat on for a few hours after being rendered immobile, but before dieing or becoming unconscious.

Really, "humane" is not about giving an animal the quality of life that it might expect in the wild, but giving them better quality of life because it causes the humans around them less social anxiety for the animals.
