Bullfighting in Mexico City has been cancelled

Never walk behind one.

To be honest we just ran like fuck

I have always heard the thing to do with Bulls is never make eye contact with it or approach it. Just act like it isn't even there, and never walk through a herd of cows with calves or if there is a bull.

Macho author Ernest Hemingway, arguably the most overrated American writer of the 20th Century, actually wrote an extremely long winded and turgid book on the subject of bullfighting, something called Death In The Afternoon which, if I recall, got recommended to me by a friend and which I gave up reading about halfway through. Apparently, he was an aficionado of this 'sport', reading all kinds of dumb nonsense into it's 'beauty' and 'art'. However, like any other right minded person, any 'sport' or pastime that deliberately sets out to bait, maim or kill animals purely for entertainment and spectacle, should be viewed as nothing more than what it is: premeditated cruelty.

There were all the D words in that orangutans face - despair, distress, disbelief, depression. Soulful eyes - so similar to us you’d have to be sociopathic not to read it instantly. It was so fucking obvious I couldn’t quite understand why not a single person in that audience noticed or objected. There were kids there too - I’d have been in tears if anyone had taken me to witness that cruelty as a child. I know I wouldn’t have simply sat there - I’d have made such a scene I’d have ended up being escorted out if I hadn’t already left. Not one person in this seven or eight minutes of video did anything other than laugh, cheer, whistle, and catcall.

The Little Fireface Project does really important work on this topic, tourist/Instagram shite and animal cruelty.

I believe Alistair Stewart of KGBNews made that mistake only last year. No doubt they found someone worse to act as a stand in until the old drunk recovered. Let’s hope Dan Wootton and Nigel Farage make it to a bullfight gone wrong, before that’s outlawed.

Yeah I'm interested to see why bullfighting does get romanticised so much tho and I'm sure Hemingway does have something to do with it.

 

[BigMoaner]

absoloutly no reason on the planet why it should not be band. do some other "patriotic" shit if that's your argument and forget about it.

Sing God Save the King, wank over your medals then fuck off to the pub. No need to torment animals.

Fucking scum

Someone should get Bostom Dynamics to build a robot bull. Let’s see how manly these bullfighters are when up against a titanium frame beast, mounted with automatic weapons and flamethrowers

My car bears a sticker of a Burro in silhouette, which is the Catalan symbol of their Anti-bullfighting movement.

I have no idea what Brits seeing it think, perhaps I am making a comment on my small and relatively slow car

I'd forgotten about Dan Hannan what a tool.

Maybe this particular Tory's love of corridas can be seen as a metaphor for the Tories' slow stabbing death of the economy of the country.

A lot of crossover between those involved too.

Cows and calves also get mistreated and tortured by the bull torturing industry despite whatever lies they come up with about how they all have a great life and it being better than cows bred for food etc. (Not saying thats great either mind you)

Forgotten females of the bullfighting sector: the cow 15 July 2021 © Santuario Vegan When people hear the word 'bullfighting', they think of imposing bulls that undergo an unchosen torture. This is not so strange: after all, the word starts with 'bull'. The term 'bull festival' also evokes the...

I just love this video of a cow described in the article that was rescued though.

Then there's this disgusting, cruel, lying, Tory bastard, who's completely unfit for any role in government or politics. Daniel Hannan - Corrida de Tories - Ungagged!

T & P look at this Tory bastard trying to keep bullfighting going when Spain is trying to ban it.

Can we throw him into a ring and tell him he has to kill 27 bulls plus someone chucking darts with just a spoon?

I saw welty's car and assumed he was in favour of throwing donkeys from bell towers.

 

[frogwoman]

Preferably after he's been kept in a box for days and days with nothing else to do except maybe read 'The New European' and Jeremy Corbyn's twitter feed.

But yeah I never ever want to hear, see, or read anything about Dan Hannan again except to hear that he's been put in a cannon and fired into the sun.
