Spanish Bullfighter Victor Barrio Gored to Death in Teruel, Spain (VIDEO)

Oh man.

It was painful. You can see the agony of defeat in the man's face.

The bull just sinks his horn into Barrio's side, and kind of grinds it. The man is helpless, clutching his gut and screaming in pain.

Here's another video, "Le torero Victor Barrio, est mort aujourd’hui, encorné à la poitrine, dans la Plaza de Teruel."

And at the Mirror U.K., "Matador is mauled to death in horrifying footage showing first bullfighting fatality in Spain this century."

If they're going to ban bullfighting, maybe this is why: it's too fucking dangerous. Sheesh.

Pamplona Bull Run 2016 (VIDEO)

Well, the running actually looks kinda fun, and take a good look, because who knows how long this will continue? Leftists are ramping up their protests.

From the other day, "Animal Rights Activists Poured Artificial Blood Over Themselves in Pamplona, Spain (VIDEO)."

It's PETA, "RUNNING OF THE BULLS - PAMPLONA - BULL FIGHT PROTEST - PETA."

Animal Rights Activists Poured Artificial Blood Over Themselves in Pamplona, Spain (VIDEO)

You know, after posting all the bullfighting videos over the years, I'm very sympathetic to this protest.

It's not just about killing the animals, which I don't oppose in terms of food production, etc. It's should we be making a sport out of it, a full spectacle which is obviously barbaric in some respects? Frankly, I've been to bull fights in Mexico, and it feels like you're at any other sporting event. But then, you kill the animal.

In any case, something to think about.

Mexico's Baja California Won't Ban Bullfighting for Now

As soon as I started reading this piece I was reminded that my dad used to take me and my sisters to see the bull fights in Mexico. My younger sister and I used to mimic the Mexicans yelling their Spanish shout outs, Olé!!

At LAT, "Mexican state of Baja California balks, again, at banning bullfighting":

Fifteen minutes into a heated session on whether bullfighting should be banned in Baja California, legislator David Ruvalcaba proposed that the fate of the controversial but financially attractive sport needed further study.

Immediately the boos rang out, and half the crowded walked out.

For the third time this year, the Congress of the Mexican state of Baja California blinked in the face of banning a sport that has deep cultural roots in Mexico but is increasingly viewed as animal cruelty.

On Thursday, 12 legislators voted for the delay, eight opposed it and two abstained. And like that, bullfighting season will indeed begin Sunday in Tijuana.

Though they have repeatedly chosen not to vote on the issue, legislators here bristled at the notion, put forward by the bullfighting lobby, that the state does not have the power to regulate the sport.

“Of course we have the power to regulate the sport,” said legislator Juan Manuel Molina, though he allowed that that power carried the responsibility of exploring the ban further.

“It's a matter of culture and a matter of belief, but it's also a matter of humanity,” Molina said. “The spectacle is cruel.”

But Molina questioned how it was possibly fair to ban bullfighting while allowing other sports that claim Mexican heritage, such as cockfighting and the rodeo.

Animal rights groups have presented signature campaigns, celebrity endorsements and polls that purport to indicate overwhelming opposition to bullfighting as part of a public campaign against the sport, which has its roots in Spain and has been banned in some Latin American countries.

Bullfighting is increasingly unpopular in Mexico, according to the polling firm Parametria. In a 2015 poll, 73% of Mexican citizens supported a nationwide ban.

The Mexican states of Sonora and Coahuila, which border the U.S., have banned bullfighting, as has the southern state of Guerrero. But the sport remains popular in the capital, Mexico City, where the Plaza de Toros Mexico seats 48,000 spectators, the largest bull ring in the world.

On Sunday in Tijuana, the largest city in Baja California, the event will feature a rejoneador, a bullfighter on horseback, for the first bullfight of the season.

Built next to the sea and nearly adjacent to the border wall that separates it from California, the Tijuana bullfight ring is designed to appeal to Americans, even extending special offers to San Diego tourists: For a minimum of $200, guests will be whisked to the grounds of a winery on Saturday for a “Toros and Vino Event” that will feature two hours of private bullfights and a return trip across the border before the main event on Sunday.

If the ban is successful, the nearest bull ring near the Southwest border would be Chihuahua's La Esperanza...
