stay away from bullfights.
It’s no fun to see an innocent, crazed animal tortured before a
screaming crowd of people, who should be hanging their heads in
shame.
Even if you leave after 15 or 20 minutes, the damage has been

Handlers weaken the bull for days before the bullfight.
They put
laxatives in his food and heavy sandbags on his back.
They file his
horns down to the tender quick, and they drug him.
In the ring, they
drive lances into his back and neck muscles, so he can’t lift his head.
By the time the matador appears,the bull is weak from blood loss and
dizzy from being chased in circles.
The horses used in bullfights
are old and usually drugged.
Wet newspaper is stuffed in
their ears and often their
vocal cords are cut, so the
audience will not hear their
cries.
