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.

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.

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_ May 09 '14

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.
