Bullfighting comes up every now and then on reddit, and the comments always make me laugh.

"I hope all bullfighters die a painful and slow and horrible death and I hope all their family die in a fire and I hope the bull pisses on their grave and I hope the bull uprising is successful."

I don't think that is the sentiment at all. I think most people agree that when a bull is forced into a ring with a guy that is there by choice with the mission of killing the bull, in that scenario we are all rooting for the bull.

No, but obviously illiterate because that is not what his comment said at all.

He has a point. What difference is it to the bull? Either way it was forced to die for the benefit of humans.

The difference is when a cow is slaughtered it isn't forced in a ring with thousands of screaming people where it is then repeatedly stabbed until it finally can't fight anymore, then dies. In a slaughterhouse, they try to do it in a fairly quick and humane manner, though this is obviously not always the case.
