If you mean the show in Spain where they run and often slide and fall on the cobblestones, it's sheer terror, maximum stress and fear for the animals, so you can imagine where my sympathies are.

Let'S have some caterpillars and construction vehicles racing down the streets instead and macho men trying to run between them. Or have a swimming competition with Mako sharks in the bay.

I just don't get the "entertainment" factor out of animals suffering.

Not my bag baby.

My sympathies as well.

The worst part is those poor animals go on to be slowly tortured and killed in the ring. Bull fighting imo is a barbaric practice that reflects poorly on the cultures that allow it.

I personally find the killing of Pilot Whales in the Faroe Islands repulsive:
