Bullfighting

[Bryan 1,362]

I know many on here have been vocal Antis of this , as they should be it's barbaric.

 

 

But for those that might be curious here's an interesting article about Padilla, he lacks the skill and grace of the big names and divides bullfighting fans, some criticise his lack of art, but his bravery and the risks he takes demands respect.

I say each to their own, there's a good vid of an English bull fighting with a bull and saved a mans life

Agree mate. Iv been to the bullfights in Madrid, they have fans like footy fans who have favourite Matadors etc and get proper involved. You could see grandfather, sons and grandsons and you know that grandfather probably went with his father, grandfather and so on. Nobody has the right to tell them to stop imo even tho I don't 100% really like it myself.

 

Picadors are cool as f**k!!

That's only the start of the story, he came back to it without a perception of depth and keeps taking the same risks.

 

 

Back in the ring where he lost his eye

If you've read this far then you should know about Jose Tomas.

He believes in the Bushido code and the way of the Samuri and all that, that he says he can't fear death if he's to perform fully. Which of course sounds like bullshit until you see him do this. Same afternoon gored 3 times by 2 different bulls.

I'm no fan of padilla, Tomas is in a different class altogether. I get padillas bravery and it's fair enough but he's no artist.

Tomas has, or at least has has it all.

You would never get Jose tomas releasing a fashion range like padilla.

Where are you going to see it in September?

[dark-destroyer-85 636]

I'd love to go see it tbh one day maybe

[tillylamp 1,830]

if people want to brand them like hero's that's up to them......i can't see anything manly about sticking half a dozen spears into an animal and letting it suffer until it can't move any more...

i don't see the point of it, if your going to kill something......do it quick and humanly,
