Matador Julio Aparicio gets some of what he gives bulls

Let this be a warning to you. You should not torture fellow beings lightly. Because they will strike you down the moment they get the chance. The bull let him live, because he was tired and just wanted to not fight anymore. Of course, the was immediately killed for his audacity. His torturer was hailed a hero for his actions.

Of course, there’s a long history of man on bull and bull on man violence, and less violent sporting. On an ancient Mediterranean island, the Minoan culture used to ‘jump’ bulls as a rite of passage. This involved running headlong at them, jumping, grabbing the horns and cartwheeling over the back to land behind the bull. So fuck these bull-riding cowboys and bull-torturing matadors. Call me back when you can grab ‘em by the horns and do some gymnastics on them without violence.
