Dont even get started on gross human right abuses done by Conquistadors . Or a whole continent speaking a foreign tongue . If some evil is part of anyone culture they need to expunge it make up for it , Bull Fighting or Running of the Bulls just goes to show lack of class or sophistication . The same cultural and heritage excuse is used to propagate white supremacy justification to hurl the confederate flag . Unfortunately you sound like someone from the Micheal Vick Fanclub . Out of all Blood Sports currently practiced this is the only one celebrated with such gusto . It would be a test of courage or skill . If the Bull was healthy and the matador would be carrying just 2 Knives to combat horns . Regarding Hunting , Hunting for food is A okay but Hunting for Game/Entertainment is facepalm worthy Quote:

Although I completely agree that bullfighting is antiquated, to say that it is on the level of supporting racial undertones that ravaged America to this day is still a little bit of a stretch. |

yes but dominance over animal is man's domain, if your going to say bull fighting is arcahic classless, and uncivilized then every single person who eats meat not produced on a truly sustainable farming method is just as barbaric, I mean eating things that basically wallow in their filth before their slaughtered, it just seems a bit impractical to deride a much smaller mistreatment of animals without even mentioning the atrocities of the industrial food/meat industry that feeds the modern world.

Culture and heritage preserved through decades of practice has got no relation to human conflicts, but rather gives a unique trait to each and every race. It is only a part of history, and isn't used to define history on entirety itself. Otherwise what Nosauz has put it, practicing "out of sight, out of mind" by just focusing on a small part over a large issue of animal rights is downright hypocritical. Besides, I don't think that bullfighter would have stood a chance against a healthy but angry raging bull with anything less than a MATADOR in his hands.

As far as I'm concerned, it's only hypocrisy if there is no difference at all and the one complaining really should be aware of that. However, taking pleasure in something an animal suffered for (like factory farmed meat) is not the same as taking pleasure in watching an animal suffer. In fact, most people who eat factory farmed meat do not want to see the animals' suffering.
Does that make it better? No, I don't think so. But I believe it's not hypocritical, as one could draw the line between callousness and cruelty right there.

Agreed.

It's not like every time someone sits down to eat a steak, they say, "ah, it's so awesome one more poor little cow had a horrible life and painful death!" Only someone who is extremely ignorant could believe that. It would also be pretty disturbing, considering most of my friends and family eat meat, and that I used to eat meat myself. I'm all for animal rights, but I'm very much aware that factory farming exists because people don't care enough, not because they think torturing animals is fun.

Besides, I take my hat off to them because they understood that personal honour can implicate your kin, thus suicide for redemption. Quote:
Kind of shameful that they can't even take care of their own species, yet still want to advocate for "animal rights" just to make themselves feel better.

Also lets not forget that after the bullfight the bull is then eaten too, so to me bullfighting is INFINTELY better than say sport hunting, which to me is assinine, if your going to kill something you better damn eat it, hence even though sometimes i'm a little digusted by people eating road kill, I don't really think its that disgusting because food is food.

And I thought in sport hunting you get to eat the stuff you poached. Quote:
But what nature allows, of course, we get to feed ourselves to animals like sharks and tigers. Colloquially it is called "bad luck", "misdemeanor" or "accident" in the human context, or in politically correct speech "negative natural causes".

Shooting wolves via helicopter, sport hunting is implies your killing for sport not for food, it implies the killing is not out of necessity or sustanace but for pleasure. I do think we have dominion over all animals but I also do think we should honor them in the food and products they provide for us, there no reason to not respect the things you depend on. But yea for the most part sport hunting doesn't actually refer to eating the kill.
