Yes bullfighting is disgusting, but to take pleasure at another person's suffering while at the same time railing against animal cruelty? Shameful. Absolutely shameful. He needs to think real hard about how he treats ALL creatures, not just animals. I am disgusted by him saying he felt delight in seeing another human suffering. We should treat ALL life with respect, not just animals.

Sorry Skinny, an eye for an eye in my book
Either life is sacred or it isn't. I don't think we pick and choose which creatures to offer compassion to - I belileve ALL creatures, human or not should be treated with respect. And, as Gandhi said, "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind."

It's not about it being sacred. It's about karma. Treat people how you'd like to be treated. She's done something terrible therefore deserves punishing.
Yes, but you are arguing because she did something terrible in the public arena she should suffer. What about the hundreds of thousands of people you don't know about in the meat industry killing every day? You should also direct your ire at them. But l don't want to lose sight of my original point here, and here are the exact words: "I felt delight this week to see serial killer Karla de los Angeles justifiably gored". Taking delight in a creature's suffering? He should be ashamed. Utterly ashamed. And I know there'll be an avalanche of people on this thread defending what he said, in Karmic or other terms, but the black and white of it is he is taking pleasure in a creature's suffering, who happens to be a human. And it is shameful.

Maybe it's time we took over...
I don't care if she dies from the bull, I do care if the bull dies as a result of this sport as it has no choice. I don't know why I can't feel the compassion for her like I do for the bull. It's just the way I am

This is exactly where I stand as well. That woman knew why she was there and what the risks involved entailed. The bull? Not so much. I don't know why bullfighting effects me more than certain other aspects of animal abuse. Probably because the matadors get dressed up and paint themselves as hero's even though the odds are pathetically stacked in their favour. As bad as it sounds I always get a kick when I see a bull notch a win for the animals when it cleans one of these jackasses up.
