The thrill of the amateur bullfight

Remember that we posted this at the beginning of the week about an amateur bullfighting festival in Huamantla, Mexico, in which 23 people were injured?

Many of the men who challenged the bulls, matador-style, knew what they were doing and approached the animals with caution and capes. But many didn't. The combination of alcohol, a screaming crowd and poor judgment was too much: 23 people ended up being carried away on stretchers by the Red Cross.

But all of those men who survived the wrath of the bulls — scathed or unscathed — were treated like homecoming heroes.

"Give me another beer! It didn't hurt!" shouted Armando Ortiz, a 25-year-old student who earned a standing ovation from the crowd after one of the bulls rushed at him and knocked him down.

Well, now here's the video to give you at home an idea of the event:

ANIMAL A B U S E
Anyone who thinks they are macho to have an animal stabbed and bleeding or dying while they run around wih a red cape is demented and sufficiently lacking any brain cells or internal mechanisms to be able to call themselves a human being...
The very idea projects a mob of sick, disgusting in humane etc whom have never been nurtured but simply
heathen breed and so goes centuries of a production of an anomelie...
SICK EVIL..
ANIMALS were on this earth: they survived and so was the planet until heathen breeders entering the scene destructive and down right dificient.
AND to make the matters worse....dumber etc take horses to slaughters in TEXAS as there were THREE SLAUGHTERS HOUSES,, now Texas Att Gen ruled no horse meat can pass thru the state...
BUT furthering the barbaric practices is MEXICO where the horses are forced into pens they cannot move, without food or water for days THEN shoved into stalls where they barely breathe...
Their terrorists stab them to death while still living; then even hang them up to die and by ONE hoof...oh I forgot while they breath standing up the terrorist rip out their spinal chords.
Do Unto Others As You WOuld Have Them Do Unto
YOU and this is what we want in our nation....as CRIMINAL INVADERS.
May GOD help those of us who live by the TEN COMMANDMENTS...because this is beyond comprehension
