BE SURE TO READ THE EDITOR'S NOTES AT THE END OF THIS IMBICILIC SCREED

From what i have heard from someone that witnessed how these bulls are raised in San Benito County, Ca. The young are abused to make them fear humans. During branding they are thrown around and ran into steel posts. When in ring they are tormented into attacking the matador. They put in such a stage of confusion they attack any moving thing. This goes for the horses that are heavily padded and blind folded so they don't see the bull coming at them. This in it self is cruel to the horse not to mention the bull and in the portegese ones i heard the use hiefers as well. So blood or bloodless it is still cruel to both the cows and horses used in this pitiful sprt for some humans to get entertainment.

EDITED TO ADD: I am leaving this illiterate and misinformed comment to show the level of idiocy that one normally finds in the animal rights set.

First, he is simply wrong about how the young animals are handled. His alleged source is wrong and has probably never been to a ganaderia.

Second, the bulls are not "tormented" in the ring by any stretch of the imagination in the bloodless bullfights.

Third, the horses in California or any Portuguese bullfights are never blindfolded nor padded. Our idiot commenter is confusing the horses of the Portuguese bullfight with the picadores of the Spanish fight (which are NEVER used in California, for obvious reasons).

Fourth, what is your point about "hiefers?"

Fifth, bullfighting is neither a sport nor a "sprt." Before you go entering the public discourse, why not learn something about what you are talking about? Of course that is too much to ask for an anonymous poster.

Wow! They probably did that at Fred Renk's Plaza, which is somewhere in southern Texas. I have seen pictures of the place, and it looks OK, but the Portuguese rings in California have a bit more style.

I believe the Pharr Oratory down in Texas used something similar to this to raise money for their schools...
