Things can go very, very wrong in the ring. I'll post the link only but be forewarned the shots are brutal.

He still ended up in better shape than the bull.


<--- always roots for the bull

oof. glad i had some drinks for that one.

Yeah, traditional or not, I think bullfighting is horrendous and evil. Not saying a guy deserves to get gored, but... I don't necessarily like the idea of a human being taunting an animal in pain, only to throw darts or whatever in his back. Seems really inhumane and just plain mean-spirited.

Bullfighting is all those things, which is why it is great. How can you not pull for the bull?

I'm not saying I'm not "pulling for the bull." I'm saying I'd rather not see it at all.

I knew what you meant. That was my own gloss.
