Bull fighting and the law allowing bull fighting has no effect on you nor is it being performed in the US so should you all not shut your pie holes given it doesn't concern you?

Kill a bull, tell a Canadian to mind his own business, it's all the same.

When you discuss morals you dismiss a definitive code of morals, claiming all are subject to the view point of the individual. This takes any sort of protest against either bull fighting or how you're treated out of your mouth.

To each his own, no?

Torture?

Barbaric sport if you can call it a sport. I have no time for it.

You wanting to change the law about allowing bull fights is no different than when I say a US law should change. The subject might be different but the issue is the same. Someone in another country telling another how they should govern.

Now if you are ok with furriners telling you how the US should be governed or what laws you should have on the books, then great, but if you aren't and would be upset with a Mexican or a Spaniard complaining about one of your laws, then you are being hypocritical n'est ce pas?

I don't want to change a law about bullfighting; I'm not offended by it nor bothered. I was busting your chops for being a moral equivalest... if that's even a word.

Many countries have blood sports as entertainment. It is just part of their culture. I can respect that.

There's slaughter and there's torture. I don't know a farmer in the world who gets off on torturing his livestock.

Nor is there a farmer who treats his livestock like these bulls are treated, they lead a charmed live up to the fight and should they prove worthy lead a charmed one after too. Besides you would erradicate a whole species should you outlaw bullfighting, these animals are bred solely for this purpose, no bullfights no more "toros de lidia".

It's a blood sport, expected from savages.

At one time, cockfights were held in the White House. Are we savages?

It is the same situation with gamecocks. They are treated better than any other chickens.
