are you talking about using banderilleros to place the banderillas?... (barbed darts).... before the matador takes to the arena?... . yes.... some of them do.. rocio morelli relys on them... . but lea vicens who fight bulls from horseback, places the banderillas herself
I'm speaking of the helpers that also goad and otherwise inflict pain to further enrage the animal.
.. .. but what;s the problem?.......
Cruelty for sport.
i didn;t say anything about any part of bullfighting being humane.... nor did i imply that it should be........ no part of bullfighting bothers me
It probably should.
..... i even use to dream about being a matadora myself once.....
If you want to be fit and show off your bod and the grace and agility thereof before a crowd, there's dance and gymnastics. If you want to fight, there's wrestling and martial arts. If you want to fight a bull, there's American style bull fighting. There's a host of arts, the skill and spectacle of which would rival any of that of a matadora. And they don't require the senseless torment of a dumb animal.
but just so we know we are both talking about the same things here.... the reason for the banderillas is not supposed to make anything easier on the bull.... it;s suppose to make it safer for the matador and make the bull easier to kill.....but it doesn;t always work out that way.... sometimes the bullfighter dies instead of the bull..... . ..
but again i ask... what;s the problem?... ... ....
Animal cruelty is the problem. Man's dominion over the beasts isn't a license for cruelty.
A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. - Proverbs 12:10
i find it ironic that someone as crass and verbally abusive towards women as you are suddenly has compassion for a beast that would kill you upon sight just because you were there.....
First, holding wanton, silly women laden with sins accountable is not abuse. Second not everyone that challenges one of your opinions is the spawn of the devil, or is calling YOU a wanton, silly woman laden with sins. Third, I have no feelings for the bulls. I simply said animal cruelty is unattractive.
there is a reason they use bulls in these fights originally devised to train cavalry - and not any other animal... other animals run away from people... bulls do not...... they instictively want to kill everything that is not a cow and part of their herd/harem......
Training cavalry is one thing. Sport is another.
and are you related to that idiot mr hall that use to post here a few years ago?........ he use to have apoplectic fits any time i posted something about pig hunting with a longbow.... .he said it was inhumane and referred to the wild boar as a "poor hapless pig".... .. we were calling him shemp for a while coz he acted like such a buffoon.....
There was a James R. Hall who used to be my pastor before the Internet was born. He wasn't IFB, but other than that I know of no one named Hall. And judging by the disproportionate amount of vitriol you volley toward anyone who might disagree with you without their first offering the proper prostrations makes me think you aren't being fair to your Mr. Hall.
