Colombian bill aims to make bullfighting bloodless

BOGOTA, April 15 (Xinhua) -- A bill aiming to take the blood and gore out of bullfighting in Colombia was proposed for debate in the congress, the local Caracol news network reported Thursday.
The bill, which is expected to be "hotly debated in coming weeks" in the congress, seeks to ban the "toreros," or bullfighters who goad and ultimately slay the bull.
According to Spanish bullfighting website Madrid Bullfighting, the "irons, banderillas, swords and lace are the allies of the bullfighter to enrage the bull and get a full bull run."
The site describes the irons as "pikes ... used for chopping the bull in the back, in order to enrage" it, saying the "banderillas" or stakes are wooden sticks with four-centimeter-long harpoon tips "to embed and stay on the bull's back"; the sword is an 88-centimeter-long weapon used to kill the bull; and the lace or small knife "aims to finish off the fallen bull."

It shows there is a real evil in some human beings which is being nurtured, and satiated by the living example of people acting like demons legally.
Everyone involved looks brain dead, profoundly stupid, twisted, perverted, and a mistake of nature. Instead of rising above one's primitive, cruel, wildly self-centered point of view, instead of ascending, transcending, they build their lives around it.
Instead of celebrating these black holes disguised as human beings, people should ignore them, allow them to live in their battered, dilapidated cardboard boxes on the edges of city dumps. They have no place around people, or animals.
