    The bull has zero comprehension of what is happening to it.It doesn't understand it's being taunted for peoples entertainment.
    How do you know this? Did you ask the bull?

    To ban bull fighting would in turn make this species extinct.

    Not necessarily, I'm sure sanctuaries could be built?

    The thing about the debate on the 'sport' is that the Spanish fighting bull is a specific breed, which is bread solely for fighting. To ban bull fighting would in turn make this species extinct.

    Just saw this now. It would make the breed extinct. Not the species. The species would be fine. There are many examples of said species living in Ireland. Breeds of dog come and go and it isn't treated as a massive deal.

    Isnt the mixing of breeds a good thing though? stronger genes, like purebred dogs tend to suffer more joint and muscular problems than mutts? Unless thats an urban legend.

    It is entirely true but there are plenty of breeds of Bull. One won't make a difference.

    They kinda do and they don't TV. From what I've been reading because many of the purebred breeds are so slack jawed banjo playing inbred, many of the mixes have the same problems. In some ways a mutt can be more of a problem as you don't know which genetic failure is going to present. So with a "pure" German Shepherd for example you're almost guaranteed hip dysplasia, but with a mongrel with that in the mix it's a coin toss.

    In short, what with inbreeding(inc reputable breeders BTW), crap food and some dodgy vet practices, we've fucked our dogs up and it's a bloody disgrace.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
