A Bull's Life: Mexico by Catidogi on Blogster

Little Birdie

At least two people are being treated in hospital in Mexico City after a bull leapt into a crowd during a bullfight. The half-ton bull - named Pajarito or Little Bird - breached the safety barrier and landed on the fans. The rampage ended when a fight participant entered the stand and killed the animal with his sword. Mexico City's bullring was built 60 years ago and is one of the biggest in the world, with a capacity of 48,000. Television images of the bullfight showed the beast jump over the heads of journalists and into the most expensive seats at the capital's vast ring. One woman spectator received a six-inch (15-cm) gash in her chest. The bullfight resumed 30 minutes after the incident. Little Bird is the first bull in the ring's history to jump into the crowd. click here to view the video clip

I am not a fan of bullfighting and would like to see Mexico (and Spain)
find other ways to enjoy life. It's a terribly cruel "sport." A bull in the
stands occasionally might hasten the demise of the bloodsport ?[SAD]

Spain is a wonderful nation bursting with freedom and creativity. Particularly in Andalucia, the people are very friendly. In Cordoba, they have restored the synagogues and dwellings in the ancient Jewish quarter. I never saw a bullfight, but I couldn't resist Little Birdie's foray into the stands.[THUMBUP]

I saw a bullfight on the spanish speaking station while I was in Thailand a couple of years ago and it kinda freaked me out. I cannot believe humans as beautiful as spanish or mexicans can still accept this sort of 'entertainment'. It's gotta stop.

Bullfights are very popular even though the bulls are drugged before the match. The American baseball is much more fair because both sides are drugged before the match.
For pure sport I prefer ping pong much more finesse and continuous action.[COOL]
