And it's an interesting ethical point you raise - is it worse to cheer a bullfighter for delivering the killing swordthrust, or to cheer a bull for goring the fighter? *ponder*
I agree. I am 100% against bullfighting (and sport hunting...and sometimes fishing). I do however think it takes a sick individual to cheer for another human getting hurt.

"score one for the bull" was kind of a fucked up thing to say. It is their culture and they do not see what they are doing as evil. No need to wish needless suffering on a group of people because of their culture.

You would. It is equivalent to the bronze star in the troll army.
