I think that you have to get in there and see it all to fully appreciate the amount of work, dedication, and love that goes into what they do. If you ask me it sure beats the bulls alternative (your dinner)For now he is well fed and is part of a sport where hes' already figured out how to fall in order to avoid injuries. Trust me those bulls are not stupid and do catch on to the game pretty quick lol. I love this sport and urge you to watch it with an open mind, ask questions and try to losen up a lttle :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330114585754884758.post-5682165339267959922010-09-10T12:03:40.376-05:002010-09-10T12:03:40.376-05:00By saying the bull is "none the worse for the...By saying the bull is "none the worse for the experience" I was simply reporting what I observed at the event. I saw no injuries to animals. While I admittedly, there is a potential for injury to both the bull and the rider, inflicting injury was not the object of the event.<br /><br />By contrast, in a bullfight, the bull is first tortured and weakened with small spears in his back, then tormented to exhaustion by the matador, then killed (sometimes clumsily) with a sword. Now THAT is a "bloodsport". The bull throwing event hardly rises to the level of "the worst of human kinds of blood sports" by comparison.Jim Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04923490491088874998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330114585754884758.post-58652174747539072042010-09-10T11:05:28.900-05:002010-09-10T11:05:28.900-05:00To say that the bull is 'none the worse for th...To say that the bull is 'none the worse for the experience' is as misleading as you can get. Imagine running at full speed when someone grabs your arm and jerks it hard enough to send you flying. That would wrench the joints apart! How can anyone think this wouldn't be excrutiatingly painful at the very least, if not causing permanent damage? Mexican Charro's portray some of the worst of human kinds blood sports, the epitomy of cruelty & should not be supported.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4330114585754884758.post-16793943305251611702008-10-12T20:00:00.000-05:002008-10-12T20:00:00.000-05:00Eeeee!
