In Reply to: Bull fighting - A sport ? posted by BruinBighead on June 19, 2007 at 20:05:28
nor have i ever seen a "complete" whatever-you-want-to-call-it,,,"match"?? i think it would be something that would affect me one way or the other if i saw it happen. i don't like hunting,,,don't like falconry, but falcons are beautiful birds of prey.
like i said, i've never seen a bullfight to it's end, BUT HERE IS WHAT I DO LIKE. i like the pagentry, i like the machismo and the masculine air that surrounds a matador. i like the matador's stance, his posture, his bearing, and his manner as he strides into the arena,,,,almost like a choreographed balletic march.
that is all i have seen, that is all i can comment on. so yes,,,i would go to an bullfighting event,,,IN SPAIN. other than that, my general feeling is it is not mine to criticize another culture.
what do you think about the running of the bulls?
