Not to piss on your parade, but even the bulls don't get a fair shot at the matador. Like Russell Crowe in the Gladiator, the vast percentage of bulls actually get cut somewhere inconspicuous a few hours beforehand, and/or are drugged.Originally Posted by Lyle
That sound sensible it would be outrageous to put human life at unnecessary risk just for the sake of entertainment.Originally Posted by superheavyrhun
Flippin heck man, that's the biggest crock of sh*t since I heard George W trying to explain the war on Iraq. What's worse than putting human life at risk for entertainment? PRETENDING too....Originally Posted by Bilbo

Nah man you're crazy. Imagine taking the kids for a nice family day out at the bull fights and you end watching a man get gored to deathOriginally Posted by superheavyrhun
It would be blatently irresponsible on the part of the organisers to allow the possibility of such a thing to happen before young innocent eyes.
Wound or tranqualise the bull beforehand and the matador can still make an entertaining show in slaying the creature but with a far reduced chance of being killed and ruining the show for everybody.
Theres good info on wikipedia on pitbulls , I read up and its definately the owners that make the dogs mean. Its a shame that people would treat a dog that way, especially mutilating a dogs tail or ears for looks... Now that I think back my one friend that had the mean pit , its ears were cut so they stand up and its tail was chopped. My friend that had the lap dog pit, his dog had uncut ears and tail.
I've got to tread fairly careful, as my brother's wife is Spanish, but when it comes to bullfighting they're a bunch of barbarians. If I went to the bull fights it seems there's little point if there's no danger. And what's more entertaining than a pompous man dressed in ridiculous clothes get put on a skewer?Originally Posted by Bilbo
Well, he's an idiot for incriminating himself, but there is a huge difference in what he is claiming to have done and what Vick was doing. By just saying "I let my dogs fight", we can't be sure to EXACTLY what degree of "fighting" he means.
I mean a week ago I watched my cat fight another cat. I found it amusing. Obviously though, if one was about to kill the other I would have jumped in. And its totally different than taking two cats, throwing them in a pit, letting them fight to the death and taking bets on it.
But either way, Jones is a moron for incriminating himself like that.

Sorry man, but if you're earning however many millions per year, then you've got to have punishments that will be able to deter people from breaking the law, and a $400 fine just ain't going to cut the mustard with Mr Vick, and with probably limits on the fines allowed to be imposed, the only thing likely to stop people like Vick from that behaviour is a term in the slammer.Originally Posted by frozensolid_702
You'd think with all his money he'd have better animals to fight with though.Originally Posted by superheavyrhun
If I was a multi millionaire animal sadist I'd be putting on fights between lions, bears and silverback gorilla's.
Any old Joe Blow can get two dogs to fight. That's just like watching two amatuer club fighters go at it.
Where are the prestige tournaments between the best the animal kingdom has to offer?
They must happen somewhere and to me they would be a lot more entertaining.
I'd love to see a Polar Bear and a lion fight best. I reckon the bear would kick the lions ass.
I see where you're coming from I guess....how about a giraffe against 3 gazelles? It's be like Mayweather against 3 minimumweights who don't like to trade. Score Draw on the pools i think.Originally Posted by Bilbo
The owners are a major factor in any dogs attitude and behavior.There are bloodlines and cross breeding with the exact purpose of generating "behaviors" in some breeds.Pitts are a great breed ,as are Rott's,Chow's and Dobe's etc.It's how there raised up,almost like kids.Ive seen first hand down here with some wanna be thugs trainning them up for combat.Thay bait them with smaller breeds,rope them up tight,withhold food..etc.etc.some wicked shit goes on.Originally Posted by No Contest
Alot of Breeds have the ears cropped,Schnauzers,Boxers,Yorkies,etc.Alot of clinics will not do the procedure so you get some idiots actually useing dry ice and tin snips to do it themselves.Really dont think it has much to do with temperment but as you said "for the look".We do some really dumb shit for our selves with the animal as an afterthought.Tail docks are done to ALOT of breeds but It has to be done as puppys.Personally I dont care for it.
When Is this going to be booted to 'Lets get it on' topic Lol, Back to Boxing!
I cannot believe the amount of people on this thread that do not give 2 sh*ts for another living thing that has no choice at all. I am appalled that anyone one would applaud this man and others like him. These animals are living and breathing they cannot say please do not do this to me, i know some of you are gonna say we watch boxing but we are are the humans we can say no these defenceless animals can't i live in Spain and i would not call bull fighting entertaining i think it is barbaric and so do most of the younger generation of Spaniards thank god we eventually see this sport dieing out.
