I probably wouldn't mind a fair fight, where humans lost every other round, but I guess that would not reinforce the human feeling of superiority and, of course,there would not be a queue of human fighters.
It is called a bullfight in English, it isn't it's a bullkill.
As I said before in France the bull gets to live.
In terms of disgusting, do you really think spraying blood into the sand is some sort of normal spectacle, if it were we would see and be proud of it in say Football, Rugby, Cricket, Grand Opera, Pop songs where the spray would merely show that the thing has been a great success. Since we don't, "disgusting" seems about the right word.

"As I said before in France the bull gets to live" Really? That would be a unusual under the best of conditions, but then I guess you know more about bullfighting then most.
The major bullfights in Spain on 14 July will be in Pamplona when the Miura bulls wiil run and then fight in the Plaza de Toros de Pamplona where they will face the matadors Rafaelillo (twitter.com/rrrafaelillo?lang=en), Javier Castaño (javiercastano.es) and Rubén Pinar (www.facebook.com/RUBENPINAROFICIAL/).

<<<<I assume all those who oppose bullfighting are not only veggie people but never use bovine by products.
Because if so, then the slaughter is acceptable as long as it offstage.>>>>
That's an old, clichéd, and not very clever argument.
When it comes to slaughter, the animal is numbed and killed quickly so as to minimize its suffering.
In bullfighting the bull dies a very slow and agonizing death, much to the pleasure of the disgusting bullfighting spectators. Yes I said disgusting, sue me.
How you can compare the two is beyond me.
Case closed.

Loac: >>vincenzo32951, and are you able to sleep at night knowing that a bull had to suffer an agonizing death so that people like you can satisfy their morbid curiosity?<<
Well, it was some years ago, but I'm pretty sure I slept well that night and the nights thereafter. Case closed. (Hell, I thought I'd get on the "and that's that" bandwagon, too.)
BTW, I didn't consider my curiosity to be morbid, in that I had no fascination with death -- of an animal or a person. It was more about seeing a spectacle that I'd heard about but never experienced.
You know what's really disgusting? Watching Joey Chestnut eat 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes for the 4th of July hot-dog eating contest.

I'm still not understanding the concept of paying (or not) to watch a living creature suffer for supposed entertainment. I'm guessing those folk also go on elephant rides in Asia and think it's ok and fun. Are they happy with bear baiting and dog fighting as well? Just asking...

IMDonehere, obviously you lack the moral capacity to distinguish between humane slaughter, a usually quick and painless method whose aim is provide food for people, and the unnecessary prolonging of pain and suffering of an animal for the sole sake of entertainment.

>>The case is closed because you cannot justify the killing in one setting, but are self-righteous in the other.<<InvalidTagion, your honor. Repetitious and confusing.

That's why I read these posts.
