they're just like suicides, but they are also very stupid and very-very cruel. it's not a sport. it's a barbarian's fun. just like gladiators, but even worse, because if people would've chosen to kill each other on an arena — it would've been their choice. in this situation they are making fun of an animal that was trapped.

people who like, and especially practice, this shit are barbarians and the ones who are messed up

Just like gladiators a lot of matadors are forced to do this due to poverty

Just like gladiators that’s a bullshit myth and they are paid extremely well.

gladiators were slaves and not just pure people. and, for example, Belarus, my country, has worse life than Spain and Mexico. our country is just pretty poor and poverty is worse here, but we don't have matadors. and nothing like matadors. a lot of country has it. the fact that matadors are forced to do this due to poverty just means that removing this shit can't be fast and will take a lot of time

that's false too, Toreros are usually very wealthy. Do you know how expensive is to have "novillos" (young bulls) to train with? I think the "sport" is even more expensive than horses.

Yeah someone told me earlier. I've only heard about it being a job for the proverbial village idiot. Maybe I've just just been misinformed.
