AP News: Spanish matador back in the ring

Bullfighting. There are many who would call it a beautiful sport. But I fail to see the beauty or sportsmanship in leading an innocent creature into a stadium, taunting it for a while with a red bedsheet, and then heartlessly stabbing the poor thing.

Now don't get me wrong - I'm usually quite tolerant of other cultures' views and customs. But bullfighting is obviously and patently cruel. Why have a 'sport' that involves slaying an animal? Why not kick a fucking ball around?

I reserve no sympathy whatever for anyone who dies while participating in this barbaric and primitive bloodsport. It's only fair that the bull pay you the same courtesy that you would give it. I only wish it happened that way more often.
