kinda deserved it lol, idiot sport needs to be banned
I think bull fighting is straight up stupid. If the fight or w/e he's called gets maimed he deserves it
Matadore, spanish for idiot
It's about time this "sport" was banned, the matador didn't deserve the injury he sustained though - should have lost his bottom jaw.
I respect culture and all, but I honestly see no purpose in this sport. Now, if these fighters were being sacrificed to a 'Sun God' then I'd understand (well, not really, but you get what I mean).

In Spain the bullfight is called the Fiesta Nacional (The national Sport). There are few places in Spain where a bull-ring can't be found within a short drive. It is the most common thing associated with Spain, and rightly so for its origins date back to 711AD when the first bullfight (corrida) took place in honour of the crowning of King Alfons VIII. Every week, all over Spain, many thousands of Spaniards flock to the nearest bullring, but not all Spaniards agree with the sport, or like it. It is reported that each year, within Spain, 24,000 bulls are killed in front of an audience of 30 million people. The bullfighting season runs from March to October. Bullfighting was originally done on horseback and was a sport reserved for the aristocracy. This changed when Felipe V prohibited the nobles from practicing the sport as he felt it was a bad example for the public's education. From then on the commoners took on the sport, facing the bulls unarmed, dodging and taunting the bull then eventually placing small spears into the bull, the origin of the banderillas of today's bullfights. Around 1724 the sport was transformed from horseback to foot. The bullfight is literally a dance with death. The bullfighter has to carefully examine and study the movements and strengths of the bull. One wrong move and he will end up gored or seriously injured. Bullfight It is certain though that at the end of the show, the bull will die, yes, it is literally a show. The bullfighter has to demonstrate his skills to the audience in a dramatic and enthusiastic way. If he makes a good job of it and gets a good round of applause at the end he could be bestowed the ultimate honour by being presented with one of the bull's ears or its tail. If he has been really good he may even be carried round the arena. One variation of the traditional bullfight is bull-running where bulls are released into the streets and masses of participants do their best to avoid them and stay alive. Pamplona is the best place to see this. HOLY ***!!!! I thought that was a moustache and was about to give him some mad props, but it's the bull's horn going through is throat!!!! SICK

Phoenix.Kojo said: Right.. Violence is like sex. Human Animal = No, just wrong. Human Human = I fap to this. I only agree to the point of fully domesticated animals. Everything else is, more or less, natural selection. Hunting, trapping, and fishing are sports, too. I'm probably just jaded. Ramuh.Tousou said: Phoenix.Kojo said: Right.. Violence is like sex. Human Animal = No, just wrong. Human Human = I fap to this. I hunt. Not for sport, but for the meat. 'Hunting for sport' is kinda wasteful, unless you donate the meat to an orphanage or something. I've heard of that. Sylph.Beelshamen said: My mother comes from a farming family, my father comes from a shooting family, so we're all pretty non-plussed when it comes to killing animals for a reason. Hunting for food, putting sick animals down, pest/vermin control, that sort of thing, all fine. Hunting for "sport" and this sort of thing? Nah, ***is barbaric.
Actually I know of people that "hunt" animals but don't kill them. They take joy in being in the wild and tracking a wild animal, pointing a gun and pulling the trigger is the easy part that they only do if they want the meat.

Actually I know of people that "hunt" animals but don't kill them. They take joy in being in the wild and tracking a wild animal, pointing a gun and pulling the trigger is the easy part that they only do if they want the meat. I should clarify.. Hunting for sport with a gun is wasteful. But some people hunt with cameras for sport. Their trophies are pictures. Well same thing really, the people I'm talking about don't normally take photos, they just do it for their own amusement. Either way, we're on the same page here :p

Either way, we're on the same page here :p This really reminded me of a quote from One Hour Photo... Quote: Sy Parrish: According to The Oxford English Dictionary, the word "snapshot" was originally a hunting term. Either way, once you get down to it, even the person who took the picture of the matador getting impaled is a hunter. He waited for the right moment, took aim, and shot. We are all hunters in some way or another, we all just have different targets. The bull's target was the matador, the matador's target was the bull, the photographer's target was the perfect photo, the photo's target was some random forum. Every society has their own moral belief structure. The throat impale is nothing compared to a lot that these men go through, but then again, people like to race around in circles hoping to god they don't nick the wall and turn into a ball of flames screaming down the race track. "He deserves getting his head impaled." "He deserves bursting into flames." "He deserves having his ear bit off." Well since im from portugal we apriciate something similiar, its called Forcados no swords in this .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCajtQCqChU&feature=related No swords, but you still use spikes and torment the animal...
No those spikes are not used from forcados, those are the matadores and horsemen, forcados are just pure force against the bull.
I guess its a good thing none of you are from spain nor appreciate the cultural heritage but are obviously experts on it
And its forbidden in portugal to kill the bull in the arena.
No im not from spain but these bull fights are from iberian peninsula, so both countries.

I do believe it helps! But I also understand how easy it is for this community to look on things from the outside and cast scathing judgment, but its ok, that matador deserved it Haha, awesome. He got what he deserved IMO.
