a fine example of hate

I despise bullfighting. I don't care how many people argue that it is a highly perfected art, or that it is just another tradition. Animal rights activists can get frenzied and crazy defending animals. No, I'm not on their, or any, "side," I just think it's terrible. I don't care that the matadors attended prodigious schools where they went through rigorous training. How can you look an animal in the eyes, one that's already been provoked by pricking and taunting, and drive it to even more humiliation and anger? And then the finale to all of this is to take the bull out of the ring and kill it. That's right bull, you can't win. Either way you're going to die. But just go on fighting for our entertainment.
It makes me sick. That said, the same goes for dog fighting, cock fighting, the hopefully now extinct bear fighting that was such a popular pastime in Elizabethan England, and any other similar "sport".
I am not ashamed to say that when I see a matador tossed up in the air, I'm pleased. They're asking for it.
Goodness gracious, humans can be cruel, disgusting specimens.

  1. Humans are terrible. My mum and I always laugh when some stupid bull fighter gets gored and people look at us as if we're crazy. *sighs*
