Tough break. It’s the nearest thing to gladiators fighting tigers or bears that we can see in the modern era. Mano o mano (hand to hand) combat between a man and and a beast between 5 to 8 times his weight. Anyone who thinks this is ritualized slaughter hasn’t seen how helpless animals are when they are killed for meat at the grocery store. This, in contrast, is spectacle - a throwback to the days when man put his life on the line every time he went after (or was attacked, for territorial reasons by) large game, with little more than an edged weapon the length of his arm to separate him from his adversary.
I condemn this “sport.”
I’m with you but I knew when I saw the title it would bring some serious scold forth
I’ve seen a few bull fights and found them fascinating
I like cockfighting too
I’m a savage
