Not so great day for a woman's chest.

Yeah, triumphant (yet dead) bull.

This reads like one of those EC "Weird Tales" comic plots back in the day. "He enjoyed killing deer....and a deer came back to kill him!" "You sharpened a pencil....now the pencil shaperns YOU!"

No one would watch if it was a girraffe he had to fight.

I would be so much more interested in giraffe-fighting. Just think of it!

Bullfighting is no more a sport than hunting or fishing. In sports, both sides play by the same rules for the same stakes.

This may sound harsh, but I guess you could call this poetic justice, considering how the treat the bulls. Torturing animals shouldn't be considered a fun pastime or a sport.

That doesn't mean I'm not sorry for the victims (though they did choose to participate in this).

Whoah,it reminds of something that I saw happen years ago in Andalucia. I was in the stands watching a "junior" corrida, like a day of bullfighting for people who were just learning how to be matadors and weren't very good yet, and this one matador stuck his sword into the bull sideways- the swords aren't thick at all, so it didn't kill the bull but it did put the bull through an incredible amount of pain and anxiety- so the bull ran off with the sword going in one side and out the other and the matador standing there with no sword looking like a total jackass. Bad enough, but then . . . the bull stopped and shook itself sideways, hard, like a wet dog . . . and the sword went flying out of the bulls body and flew up into the crowd and landed on some hapless screaming tourists. It didn't cut them (it was a rapier with a sharp point but no edge) but everybody totally freaked. It seemed like poetic justice for the audience to feel a little fear considering what hell the bull was going through.

According to which government department it comes under, bullfighting counts as show business, not sport.

I like the way the video link says "Click to see the bull rampage"

YESSS!!
