[LarryT (l02turner]

I always thought bullfights were overrated (IMO of course)  - as you said 
watching <<one of God's creatures being slowly tortured to death >> doesn't 
hold much attraction for me.  But those carefree Romans did it for years - 
both human and animal - and bullfighting has gone on for a loooong time so 
someone must be enjoying it.  Probably not the bull. ;-)

I know there's some that call it a sport but I can't bring myself to 
consider it that.  I'm sure the amount of skill needed to do it properly is 
high and the ability to stay in the arena when a 2000# extremely anger 
animal wants to do you great harm requires great bravery.

But don;t they dull the points of the bulls horns or cut the ends off so 
they're flat?  I've seen video where the bull gets hold of the fighter and 
either gores them or stomps them - I;m sure being gored is unpleasant but 
when they get stomped on the BF usually jumps up an scurries off to safety. 
I would have thought being stomped by something that big would cause 
considerable damage regardless of where they get you -

Oh well - another problem we are not going to solve -
