This is one pissed off bull. Video is grainy, but satisfying nevertheless.

oh man that first person got it good, straight at them. wow, thats scary how agile they can be. can't say i feel sorry for anyone of those people.

cnn.com has a pretty good video on its homepage--better actually--but no article to which I can link.

reminds me of pictures i saw in maxim or stuff awhile ago of post-hurricane katrina. the national guard found this huge bull getting attacked by two starving pit bulls. they said the dogs never let down and kept going after the bull after getting tossed and kicked repeatedly. they eventually had to shoot the pit bulls because they were a serious threat to anything in their way. they said the one died after one shot to the head. the other needed two bullets to the head before it stopped attacking. they have a huge threshold for pain obviously.
found some pics....kinda small...but still wild.

Those shots are f'n hilarious.

That last pic is awesome. Thanks mussa.

As for the the bull jumping into the stands, I don't feel sorry for those people either. I feel sorry for the bull. How is it that Ron Artest can beat up people in the stands and is still currently making millions of dollars but when a bull does it, he gets stabbed to death? That's kind of sad.

Ok, I'm over it. Hooray for humans!

@ the avatar.

Saw the bull on TV this morning. Good work, toro.

mussa · January 31, 2006, 07:57:23 AM

sweet avatar rjs. im trying to find the rest of the pictures. in the magazine, they were blown up big and there were a few shots where the pit bulls were locked into the bull and the skin was just tearing. i'd pay to see that shtein, thats survival of the fittest at its best.

I feel sorry for the bull.

So, you must be a vegetarian, of course.

Not at all. I just hate seeing wild animals get killed for doing something that comes naturally to them. Especially when it's in a name of sport or entertainment.

Of course, I am a bit hypocritical too because I think many people are naturally stupid yet I feel that stupidity is a legitimate reason to shoot someone in the head.

Bulls aren't wild. They are bred and raised like any other farm animal.
They don't like, catch wild bulls in borneo and ship them to Mexico, dude.
They just breed fighting bulls for particular characteristics like they do any other domesticated animal.

My real point though was that killing bulls for the sport of watching them die in a 3 act play and killing them for the sport of tasting thier flesh is pretty much equivelant morally in this day and age of universally available food.
At least in my book.

Yes. They are.

They may be bred and raised, but they are not like any other farm animal. Farmers can fearlessly walk among most of their livestock. Not the case with bulls. They may be a domestic farm animal but they are far from domesticated. There's a difference.

Duh.

And that's the problem I have with it. They are breeding an animal for the sole purpose of killing it for sport and entertainment. I think there is something morally and fundamentally wrong with that.

Your book sounds stupid but I'll wait for the movie to come out before passing judgement.

Seriously though, there is a difference between killing an animal for sport and killing an animal for food. I don't care if they eat the bull once they've killed it. The bottom line is that the killing portion of it was to entertain the masses and bring personal "glory" to the guy who killed it. Lame.

I don't see the sport or glory in killing an animal just for the sake of killing it. Especially when weapons are involved. You wanna kill a bull and impress somebody? Fine, do it with your bare hands. Then I might be impressed.
