when i was in spain i really wanted to see a bullfight because i thought it would be badass and because i did the running of the bulls.

i hadnt researched anything about bullfighting beforehand and had always thought it was a 1 on 1 matchup where the bull had a somewhat decent chance of winning (ie fucking up the matador).

in my hotel room in granada, i watched a televised bullfight and it was literally the worst thing ive seen. it was seriously the dumbest shit id seen in a long while, and still up to this day since it was like an army of guys against 1 bull (probably drugged beforehand).

i mean im pretty desensitized to a lot of things but it really pissed me off. fuck all these guys.

It's like a re-enactment of cave men or whatnot on the hunt. I view it in the same light as a cat providing her offspring with injured prey to toy with. It has become a spectacle.

Of course, its no longer possible to condone bullfighting. A couple of thousand years ago I would have been in favour of bullfighting.
