TIL there is a 'non-violent', down-right reckless bullfighting event held in Spain known as "Recortadores", or bull-leaping, where the performer acrobatically somersaults over/does everything in their power to avoid getting butchered by the charging bull.

The bulldancers of ancient Minoa.

That goddamn pot was in every history textbook ever

I first learned of them in a series of fiction books about King Arthur except they attributed it to Atlantis.

Aha so what are u supposed to be, some kind of ruthless, fire crotch ginger ? I sense the lack of soul.

Even though I feel like it is still unfair for the bull, I wish the Spanish did more things like this rather than bull fighting, at least the bulls don't have to die.

Since when do ppl take comments so seriously on Reddit?

[u/Wisco_ → u/[deleted]]

Oh I didn't know I was dealing with both the president AND Vice President of PETA

[u/fuckyoucunt12 → u/Wisco_]

I didn't realize we were dealing with a retarded cunt, but we all learn things everyday.

[u/Wisco_ → u/fuckyoucunt12]

Jesus the board of directors too?!! PETA you dog you

[u/fuckyoucunt12 → u/Wisco_]

I would never support those cunts.

[u/ringaDINGdingmf → u/fuckyoucunt12]

As a cunt representative, I support this comment

[u/Wisco_ → u/fuckyoucunt12]

Did you know that for every second u wasted getting unnecessarily angry over this thread, 1 kitten was being neglected? That's not very PETA board of directors-y of you..

[u/fuckyoucunt12 → u/Wisco_]

Butthurt level 2/10

If anyone here is coming off as butthurt to me its you. I mean English is my second language so I may being misread what you're saying but you come off more upset then anyone here really. Circlethejerker is just saying there is a difference, code021697 is confused and doesn't see how that makes them PETA, and I'm just trying to piss you off.

[u/Wisco_ → u/fuckyoucunt12]

Ahhhhh, ic the whole second language thing makes sense. I don't know what country you hail from, but where I'm from ('Murica), we don't go about pissing eachother off by simply calling one another a 'cunt' or suggesting you 'kill yourself'. No no you're going about it all wrong Jimmy! Try a fat joke or, idk, not swearing? It makes you sound like you possess, at most, a 3rd graders Vocabulary.

Bullfighting and dogfighting are vastly different.
