Comments are welcome and discussion is open and encouraged. I expect that there will be some occasional disagreement (heaven knows why) or welcome clarification and embellishment, and such are freely solicited.
Consider that all such comments are in the public domain and are expected to be polite, even while contentious. I will delete comments which are ad hominem, as well as those needlessly profane beyond the realm of sputtering incredulity in reaction to some inanity, unless attributed to a quote.
Links to other sources are fine so long as they further the argument or expand on the discussion. All such comments and links are the responsibility of the commenter, and the mere presence herein does not necessarily constitute my agreement.
I will also delete all comments that link to a commercial site.
Never saw a bullfight and never been to Spain. Pretty picture. Or it was until you mentioned the condemned thrown into the gorge. Rodeo is an art that also hurts the animals, though they don't often die and no one cuts off their ears and tails as trophies.
ReplyDeleteBy sheerest happenstance, the son mentioned above just took up the same subject of bullfighting in a separate forum today. I'll let him reply:
Delete"Until you've seen [a bullfight] it's hard to justify. It really is a beautiful thing. The bull has a chance to die with dignity instead of having its throat slit in a slaughterhouse. The village then eats the bull. When I was in Spain I saw a bull get a standing ovation [at the end], and historically some have even been spared out of respect."
