Chicken fighting is big in the Southern US and Mexico. Dog fighting is too but it's against the law. I don't know if they still have bull fighting in Mexico. My opinion is all the tradition involved in bull fighting is pretty cool but it isn't good to kill and animal painfully.

A matador has died after being gored by a bull in Spain - the first bullfighter to die in the ring in Spain this century.
Victor Barrio, 29, a professional bullfighter, was killed when the bull's horn pierced his chest.
The fight, in the eastern town of Teruel, was being broadcast live on TV.
Also on Saturday, a 28-year-old man died after being gored by a bull during a bull run through the village of Pedreguer, near Valencia.
The last matador to die in a bullfight in Spain was Jose Cubero, or Yiyo, in 1985.
Television footage shows the bull throwing Barrio into the air before goring him on the right-hand side of his chest and violently throwing him.
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy paid his condolences to Barrio on his Twitter feed.
A comment on the official feed of the Las Ventas bull ring in Madrid, where Barrio began as an apprentice, said it was "distressed and very moved" by his death.
El Pais newspaper said that in the past century, 134 people, including 33 matadors, had been killed by bulls in Spain.
Last year, leading matador Francisco Rivera Ordonez was badly hurt while taking part in a bullfight in the north-eastern town of Huesca.
About 2,000 bullfights are still held every year in Spain, but the numbers are falling. In 2010, Catalonia became the second Spanish region after the Canary Islands to ban the tradition.
Opponents describe the blood-soaked pageants as barbaric, while fans - including Mr Rajoy - say the tradition is an ancient art form deeply rooted in national history.
In the other incident on Saturday, a man was killed while running alongside bulls in Pedreguer. Spanish media said he was trying to help another runner when he was gored in the throat and abdomen.
Meanwhile, in the San Fermin bull running festival in Pamplona on Saturday, a 33-year-old Japanese man was gored in the chest and a Spanish man in the arm. Another 12 people were injured, the regional government in Pamplona said.

Let's hope the bulls learn how to aim better and will impale every single one of them.
Sadist sport for sadist people.

Animal love aside,
I kinda am saddened by this. Right or wrong this is a culture and a part of history. I respect Matadors. Those people who just run from bulls in white shirts, they just be crazy.

If you get into the ring with a large pissed off bull, don't be surprised if you get hurt or maimed or gored or killed.
They do bull fighting in Mexico still. Its actually still very popular

I don't feel bad about it at all. You simply don't fuck with animals who are equipped with pointy bits.

The bull won, so hope he isn't killed because of this tragedy. Hope the animal achieves "retirement" for winning that game of death.
That sport couldn't die soon enough.The wise wolf who's pride is her wisdom isn't so sharp as drunk.

I'm not some carebear, but fighting a huge, dangerous animal for the sake of entertainment and.. losing?
Sounds like justice.

Bullfighting is disgusting in its entirety.
They torture, mutilate and starve the bull BEFORE the show begins.
They stab the bull during the show (the guy on the horse).
Then they play around with it (the guy with the flag).
Finally the only slightly honorable participants tank the bull's advance.
The bull essentially enters the arena half dead into a fight to the death completely stacked against him.
I hope bulls become smarter and smarter as generations go.
I'd love to see a bull killing the guy on the horse, abruptly ending the show with everyone shocked in silence.Last edited by Nurvus; 2016-07-10 at 05:02 AM.

Don't knock it till you see one.
They're actually pretty fun according to Latinos and spainards.
Also, maybe this adds some humor to the people wanting the bull to get its "poetic justice"
