Some cultural sports should be changed!!

"At amateur Bullfights in Colombia, Alcohol and Blood Flow Freely"




1) Red Cross waits for injured people to arrive. 2) It is not shocking to see many injured people going to the Red Cross during this time. 3) "A stream of men arrives with wounds out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting: intestines peeking out of a belly, bone protruding from a fractured skin, blood spurting from a gash in the buttocks." 4) They are all part of a bullfighting ritual in northern Colombia facing against 900 pound bull. 5) Many various people in this capital of Sucre Province are not afraid to be injured or even worse, to die. 6)At 2-6 p.m., people are ready to face the giant bulls with their funny and unique customs. 7) They do not consider this as a serious thing but more likely a festival. 8)When the bull is released, "the bulls were harassed by about two dozen horsemen carrying barbed sticks called banderillas, used to prod them into lunging madly into the throng." 9)The bulls are not killed but they get tired and tripped up by a rope, participants gather around "pelting it with rocks, kicking it, slapping it, spitting on it and pulling its tail." 10) When this happens, cattlemen and rick people from the stands throw 2,000 pesos worth of bottles of alcohol tot he most popular manteros.



11) Bull fighting is a traditional public entertainemnt, popular especially in Spain, in which bulls are fought and usually killed. 12) In my opinion, this does not look like an honorable activity to be called a 'sport' and 'cultural rituals'. 13) Even though this could bring death to the people, they keep on enjoying it. 14) One man was bandaged because he has been accidentally speared by a horesmen but he says it is fun to be part of the game even though his hands feel like burning. 15) He said, "This is about the ecstasy of escaping death. 16) It is part of us as human beings" 17) It is quite sad that torturing an animal is a cultural sport in some of the countries. 18) I hope this will gradually stop so that no bulls will die innocently and meaninglessly. :D
