It beggars belief that a so-called advanced society still upholds this barbaric animal cruelty
"After the bullfighter, or matador, stabs the bull with banderillas (wooden sticks with spiked ends), his objective is to “conquer and kill the bull with a swift clean kill by placing a sword in a coin-sized area between the bull’s shoulders.” (1) Advocates of bullfighting argue that if the matador aims correctly, the animal dies in a matter of seconds. This type of quick, clean death, however, is not the norm. In most cases, the matador misses the target, injuring the bull’s lungs and bronchial tubes, causing blood to flow and bubble through the animal’s mouth and nose."
So the animal dies a tortuous death.
Shame on all who partipate in, promote and support this disgraceful practice
Somehow we think that those who we grew up listening to and adoring will live forever but as we grow older, they do too and for me, Charlie's passing marks the end of an era
Thank you all for taking time out to respond, you've given me insight into how things work in your various countries and also some inspiration in terms of looking at life when I decide to lay down my tools
You guys are my peers and this is what I enjoy about this site, sharing life experiences and knowledge
Hoping even more people will share their own stories
I've done volunteer work when in between jobs which was good to fill the gaps and keep me in the loop but I'm not sure that's something I'd be interested in as an option when I retire
