The sport had been glorified and turned matadores into national heros. THey are the most glorified and dignified heroes in Mexican and Latino cultures.
In some Muslem occupied Indonesian and Asian countries, they fight mountain rams
In the south they fight dogs and roosters
In other countries they use ostrich and other large flightless birds.
Some countries race camels, and others use elephants for feats of strength.
in some Ukraine regions men, actually fight bears, and in some other surrounding nations Dogs fight bears.
*Which is really FU*KED up, especially cruel, and completely insane! They remove the bears claws and file down their teeth, they muzel them and set lose two dogs onto an otherwise helpless bear and take bets on which dog will kill it.
These things are nothing new they will probably always exist and it is a shame that we walk among certain personality types that not only find it acceptible behavior, but they profit by it. It is human cruelty and ignorance at it’s most deplorable.
“Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.” Mark Twain, The Lowest Animal
