What Is Wrong With Bullfighting?
Bullfighting is a cruel bloodsport in which the bulls don’t stand a chance. According to the Associated Press, a recent study found that 20 percent of bulls are fed laxatives and drugged before they are sent into the ring. Of 200 bulls, “one in five had been given anti-inflammatory drugs, which mask injuries that could sap the animal’s strength.” The bull’s horns are shaved, and petroleum jelly is smeared into his eyes to cloud his vision. Before the matador even enters the ring, a picador stabs and cuts muscles in the bull’s neck to further weaken him. To view the reality of bullfighting, click here.
