I think this is a horrible "tradition" that needs to be banned. But I disagree strongly with the posts here celebrating this man's death. I find that disturbing.
Nah dude, you're not hurting anyone by making fun of his admittedly humorous death. This guy basically makes fun of the death of a tortured bull, kills the bull, and propagates an industry that tortures and kills bulls. That guy who posed the Boo Hoo picture is basically a Saint compared to that.I think is way sicker to make fun of the death. And, again, totally unnecesary.
I always feel bad because a unique ecosystem of micro organisms that survived and reproduced for millions and millions of generations dies off with the person, but that doesn't mean that we can't laugh at this.I never understood why this is brought up as an argument to feel bad or someone's death.
You're not obligated to mourn the death of every human being, even less so if you have no personal connection at all. This dude died doing something repulsive. People will react to that.
So put the moral grandstanding on hold maybe.
Yeeeesh,a person with a family just died.
His participation in this kind of "art" is disgusting yes, but this is a bit much.
You look no better than the people who would've laughed at the bull's death
Completely disgusting response.
The guy is leaving wife and 2 children.
Totally unnecessary.
Never realized this was such an evil sport, I've always assumed it featured a matador waving a red cape around and dodging a bull for like 10 min. I didn't realize the goal was to KILL the bull. And they have to severely cripple it too beforehand, like the bad guy from Russle Crowe's Gladiator.
All matadors are cowards, and the one that died received a coward's death.
Again, how does him simply being a human being entitle him to sympathy? He signed up for this. The bulls most certainly didn't.It's a bit disgusting how some of you have "no sympathy" whatsoever for this man, and even celebrating his death? Wow. I agree that bull fighting is wrong and needs to end, but come on. This is a human being with wife and kids.

There's no ifs about it, bullfighting is wrong and his was a completely unnecessary death.

I'm of this mindset too. I don't condone his career choice in the slightest, but I still feel sorry that he died so young and so pointlessly. I feel sorry for the bull too.It's a bit disgusting how some of you have "no sympathy" whatsoever for this man, and even celebrating his death? Wow.

There's also not a bunch of people cheering on a slaughterhouse.It's gross, but slaughterhouse killing isn't much more better. Sure, we get food out of it, but I'm sure that the amount of meat we waste every day is a lot more than all the bulls killed by bullfighting in a year.
I mean it seems like we were preventing the unnecessary death of bullfighters for 35 years before this guy ended the streak. They stacked the deck to end that.Sad event overall. If only we could prevent the unnecessary death of bulls and bullfighters. If only. Sigh.
Reading this thread you would guess bullfighters are literally hitler
Gaf bullfighter reactions are always a treat. Just as much a treat as that nice tasty burger you just ate

Thats on the same level as factory farming bro. But go ahead and keep eating and postingI remember the time when I blinded and tortured a cow in a death match before I had my Mcdouble
It always amazes me that people get so antsy about bullfighting. I mean think about all the horrible shit we do to animals everyday for the purpose of food. This is small potatos in comparison.
Industrial animal slaughter is nothing like the torture of bull fighting and is generally designed so that the animals don't experience any long episode of pain.Agree. I honestly don't know how people complain about bull fighting but have absolutely no problems eating a hamburger. I guess its an out of sight out of mind thing.

Well, numbers and their prior life aren't really a meaningful difference either. It's the violent death and, in case of bullfighting, the torture preceding it that people take issue with.That's not a meaningful difference. Bullfighting is sad, but way more cattle die in the slaughterhouse than in the arena.
Much like hunting, bullfighting at least gives these animals a much freer and oftentimes longer life than animals in the meat industry enjoy.
vegans are wild. This post lmaoAgree. I honestly don't know how people complain about bull fighting but have absolutely no problems eating a hamburger. I guess its an out of sight out of mind thing.

If anything his wife and children should be mad at him for choosing that cruel and risky profession. Not at some people on a forum (not that they care either way about what GAF says about him, so maybe they should be left out of the discussion entirely).

You must have missed the part where I said 'neither end is particularly pleasant'.
Either way, an animal's existence doesn't just consist of it's end. Consider the animal's life beforehand. Bulls raised for fighting live for years, roaming the plains, eating good food, being treated well and respected - animals raised for food are treated inhumanely for the entirety of their lives. I do not support bull-fighting, but do see the irony of someone criticising it while chewing down a McRib.

Animals raised for food live entire lives of suffering, and their end is hardly humane. People seem to want to pretend that it isn't the case, for their own peace of mind.
Do the public all crowd round and cheer as the animal raised for food suffers then dies?
I agree animals that are breed for food need to treated better. But unlike bull fighting it isn't done for sport, it isn't done to cheer and laugh and clap at as the animal is getting stabbed etc.
I doubt that all matters to the animal? Maybe it makes it easier to justify..
Again I didn't justify the conditions most animals breed for food are in. I just see killing a animal for sport as being far easier thing to stop.
I guess you being Vegan you are picky what clothes etc you buy as well right?

Hold on there, I dont think anyone in this thread really supports bullfighting. There's definitely an element of brutality that should repel people of modernity. The snark I think comes as a response to people apparently cheering the death of another human which is as much if not more disturbing. You can call for the end of a tradition without rejoicing in tragedyGod damnit, with some people coming into the thread waving about their sarcastic "stfu you probably eat meat" mentality. And I'm saying this as someone who's (attempting) to become a vegan himself (more for health reasons, but the morality is great too). If someone condemns bullfighting while eating a Big Mac, fucking let them. The more voices condemning the sport, the better. Let them know it's ironic after the fact, will yah?
Holy fuck at people equating eating a burger to bullfighting. Jesus.
Oh it gets even better. This is pure art /s
They will slaughter the mother too.
