Been to a bull fight and Yes it is art but not to my taste. Been to the running with the bulls which is a more 'sporty' or evenhanded situation where it is 'fun' and no killing of the bulls.


I wouldnt go to another correda as I think it is not sport or even good fun just legalised slaughter of 6 bulls for the greater glory of the three matadors.
Running with the bulls is different as there is no kill except of humans. In the Valencia region every year there are 8-12 people killed each year. No problem with this as it is their choice to run with the bull and if it kills them that is their choice.

This is a very personal statement and judgement calls are difficult. If you eat meat then similar calls and questions can be brought into play if you take a vegan stance.


Firstly, if you notice during the running the bulls horns are actually tethered, if it looks like the bull might get even with one the fat sickos they simply tension the rope. Not only that, the bull's corns are capped.

I don't find it art at all, far as I'm concerned it's a bunch of cowards & greasy ponses cruelly killing animals. Put these scum in with some big cats...now that's what I'd call entertainment.
