Thread: Top Bullfighter Barrio Gored To Death By Bull

I thought it was donkeys?

The donkey shows are popular in Mexico...

The Spanish affinity for torture, death and torment is really quite awesome - vide works on the Inquisition, Civil War, subjugation of South/Central American colonies, etc. I don't think there has been a society quite like it and it comes as no surprise Mexico has inherited its death culture. England and Britain could be fairly cruel but it was generally for a reason whereas in the dago one feels he loves it for the pain and perhaps the closer connection to his popish God it confers..

heres a recent article from a marbella newsheet about goat throwing.

they probably do donkeys too in other villages.

belligerent people, the spanish, many have the pinched facial reatures of the inbred, and they have the market cornered when it comes to toothless old crones , they knock the palestinian crones for six, and thats no mean feat.

hairy women too, and their food is nothing to write home about either.

Some saints are celebrated nationally in Spain and others are legends and celebrated only in particular villages. In the city of Zamora, Saint Vincent has been honoured with his very own festival and Saint´s Day at which a very peculiar (and controversial) custom kicks off the annual fiesta.

The tiny Spanish village of Manganeses de la Polvorosa holds its annual festival for their towns patron Saint Vincent every June.

The festivity begins with a group of excited young men tossing a live goat off the top of a 50-foot church belfry to the crowd below who catch the flying goat with a canvas sheet.

However, as each year the (not so lucky) chosen goat is hurled from the bell tower into the tarpaulins below, some survive the fall and some do not.

Not much attention is given to the death of this animal, it is set aside and the fiesta begins regardless. If the goat survives it is revered and is paraded through the small village, becoming a local legend for years to come.

It is apparent that how and when this custom began is a mystery.

What is not a mystery is that this custom is not very well perceived of by outsiders, causing much controversy and outrage by animal activists. They consider this inhumane animal treatment and demand the termination of this tradition.

Many organizations have rallied to abolish this annual custom, or at least have it modified. Through the years modifications such as “lowering” the goat safely, launching an inanimate object (instead of a live one) below and in 1992 officials have even gone as far as cancelling this tradition and (unsuccessfully) attempting to fine rebellious participants.

However, townspeople do not take kindly to outsiders and officials meddling with their fiesta, many villagers retaliated by attacking police and inquisitive journalists. To date the people of Manganeses de la Polvorosa show no signs of relenting and giving up this age old tradition.



The Vicente de Martir festival may be controversial, the villagers and outsiders may continue to clash about the future of this tradition, but for now it continues and the villagers celebrate with pride and enthusiasm Saint Vincent’s Day.

if you think of America as a giant circus, then yes, their love of guns is justified.

IMO, all those die-hard gun lovers are clowns, so it fits perfectly with their vision of society.

that's why people come to see the game, they know the bull can win and the danger is real. If the bull is killed too easily, the matador will get booed...

the reason of the game is to put men and a ferocious animal on the same ground. The bull with his horn, the matafor with his blade.

Look at the position of the body of the matador when he wants to kill, it's the same as the bull. The position of the blade is very important.

It's really a dance, a flamingo dance between nature and men.

If you think sending animals to the slaughter house is not savagery, even though it's not a sport, it's a whole industry. Should we stop it ? of course not.

What about Japan killing whales and those dolphins ? now that's gratuitous monstruoisity. No dance, no spectacle, just pure mindless slaughter of peaceful animals.

It's really a dance, a flamingo dance between nature and men.

what the fuck is a flamingo dance you silly belgian loon.

I remember it being broadcast as a sport on TV in America when I was a kid. Gee, some things really have changed for the better.

(And that was New York too at the time, not California with its Hispanic population.)

blame the fooking auto-spelling shit

Don'y worry, Butters, I've put him right - we Europeans must stick together (no bodily fluids, mind!).

similar to the crane dance I would suppose

when the ladyboy is battering the belgians bellicose butthole , he will crane over the butters' shoulder and attempt to kiss him

ha the voice of experience, good work balddick

The bull in a desperate effort to perverse its life attacked the matador with its horn the same way a Pattaya Ladyboy attacks an intoxicated inquisitive tourist with her horn

I still don't understand why they have to kill the bulls mother?

Because he killed the matador? So he had a nasty streak in him... I guess it's tradition.

I love Spain, know it well. But have never liked the bull fighting.

But, when done right it is a bit like pink bird dancing!!

Disgraceful really.

That is quite appalling actually... and spiteful towards the bull.

Much like the Brexiteers v the Remainiacs - even with the odds stacked against, it still won, and then it's victory is stolen out of spite.

Disgusting treatment of a provoked animal, and totally against the spirit of Bullfighting actually:

"Sometimes, the life of the bull is spared due to his braveness (indulto); once the animal has been treated, it is returned to live in the dehesa. Such pardons are nevertheless rare. "
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullfighting

If you look at the advertisement poster hanging up with Saint Server on it and a cross. It has the date 20 November 2017. This proves that this is the actual video of tragic bull fighter and not a previous video of one of his close calls with bulls.

What happened to the blokey who got a horn up the jacksie last month?

Did he get a jacksie transplant?

Hope it was in good condition and not high mileage!

Should have fitted a drawstring so he can leave it undone when he is risking his next pounding in the (bull)ring!

Bullfighting is one of the finest sports in the world that defines a people and it is a wondrous miracle that a European country plays host to it.

Can't get enough of watching it and whenever I'm in Spain I always flick on the TV channel that may be carrying it.

My favourite stage is the Tercio de Banderillas - very acrobatic and the epitome of acting with grace and precision under pressure.

First Matordor death this century. They are such brave Men.

But hey seek, you like those tight trousers and pert buttocks don't you? na...

The sad thing is Spain/ Catulunia (sp) has its own heroes, Marquez brothers, Lorenzo, Sainz etc.
And yet they still carry on with this one sided crap in the name of culture...
It's 2017 compadre, wake the f,,,k up!!!

I love a good news story like this.

Well done Bully, you did not die in vain.
