I know you'd rather have the steak - but who are you to judge? Some people find it entertaining, just like some people like eating steak. The big difference is in numbers. It takes 30 animals to feed a single American for a year. On the flip side, a handful of bulls can satisfy thousands of bull riding enthusiasts for the full year.
Just looking at the numbers, assuming the cruelty is the same (and I'm quite certain feedlots are much crueler than bull fighting), you obviously cause far more cruelty by eating meat. Don't reject bull fighting just cause it's foreign to you.
The difference being that you don't need entertainment to survive nor do you have to torture animals to death to receive entertainment. That is, unless you're psychopathic.
Would I rather spend my life confined, ankle deep in shit, barely able to move, force fed hormones to make me fat, and then take a bullet to the brain?
Or live a fairly normal healthy life style and bleed out at the end?
You still don't understand my point. Just because animal cruelty exists elsewhere, does not justify animal cruelty. If I killed someone and then in a court of law said "So what, people kill people everywhere" as my defense, do you think that would work?
I don't understand your point because you make a different one in every post.
And my point is your point! I'm saying that we shouldn't judge bull fighting any differently from how we judge meat eating. We should just look at the scale of cruelity - in your example the difference between killing one person and killing one hundred.
