I think this is one of the most horrendous (sports) I call it murder of the beautiful bulls I feel this needs media attention and have the whole world look at this shameful disgusting sport. I cheer every time a man is either killed or badly hurt. It makes me sick and we need to shame and name these rotten evil men now.

What a very strange "custom" to want to be noted for!!! Barbaric and disgusting. This is one of the highest forms of animal abuse. Everyone please write to the Tourism Board. I have found that when the target country finds out they will lose tourist's money - they take things a little more seriously. Simply click on the "Country - tourism board" - and then send your email.

The votes to continue haven't gone up since yesterday, still 860772 but we are still losing out on a ban as we're only 654699 as I write this. Where can we get MORE signatures, I've posted it everywhere I can think of.

When, oh when is the human race going to grow up? When are we going to stop acting like 3 yr old children with temper tantrums? Pulling the wings off butterflies, setting animals on fire, torturing animals, and humans, in everyway imaginable? If we do not end our dependence on torture as a means to emotional relief soon, we are going to destroy ourselves. Worse, we may destroy all the other lifeforms as well. sigh.

Three things that need to be outlawed immediately:
Circuses, rodeos and bullfighting.
None of the three has any redeeming quality whatsoever.
I definitely voted to ban!
Thank you kindly, Rebecca!

Just voted twice more on my other email addresses it now stands at 860781 to continue and 654839 for a ban so a ban is still 205942 behind, it seems hopeless. I can't believe so many are voting to keep something so sickening.

I cannot understant this paradox of a country that is known for its principles of vegetarianism and non-violence - where the cow is worshipped and considered a sacred animal - with these barbaric crimes. Don't they know that the Cow is the one who gives birth to the Bull?
I read that in India (quote:) "Animals have also been regarded as the abode (either temporary or permanent) of the souls of the dead".
I sincerely hope that the "souls of the dead" shall return to haunt them.

Ludhiana: The lack of medical facilities at the venue of the ‘Rural Olympics’ was highlighted when an aged man was seriously injured after being hit by a bullock cart. The injured Tarsem Lal, a resident of Hoshiarpur, was rushed to a private hospital in Dehlon by the locals and a few journalists. The incident occurred during the heats of the cart race when a bullock could not stop at the finishing line and rammed the spectator.
