What a waste! I know it's a different culture but as a cattle person, I can't think it's a good thing to kill a bull for entertainment.

Don't know about France but in Mexico the meat is given to the poor.

At first I thought the same thing but i read the article and thought "well thats the kind of thing PETA says about the rodeo".
If the meat is given to the poor i guess no problem with it. But Im not to sure what to think of their sport. :?

that may be but killing an animal for sport or for food means you kill it and you kill it humanely, stabbing one to death with lances over and over again so that it bleeds to death slowly is not humane nor is it sporting.

i read this article. Here is a quote from the lower part of the article
Beatrice Brethes, who runs a bullfighting school in France where Michelito performed, said Michelito and other children participating in the demonstrations are paired with smaller animals -- calves ranging from 9 months old to a year, and weighing no more than 150 pounds.
how do you get a 9 mo old to weigh 150 #
how do you get a year old to weigh 150#
just curious

I think a boy this age should not be around animals that could injure/kill him. I think the parents should be more responsible and consider the safety of their son, rather than the popularity he might have achieved.
In the pics those bulls are just really young animals, but they do have horns, and any animals with horns can under certain circumastances gore a person to death.
Usually younger bulls do not show the agression as the older ones develop, at a older age, but I imagine there is always a first time. I wonder how his parents would feel if he was fatally injured? Knowng they could have prevented it.

Seriously, you are talking about Mexico. There reality and yours are definately not the same. Also those cattle are born agressive, the ones that kid killed are probably the culls that didn't show enough agression. When I was in high school our Spanish teacher told us that bulls in Mexico don't get to fight more than once. If they did they learn too well and would kill someone real soon.. It's a culture of Machismo if you haven't seen it first hand you will not understand it. That kid is like a rock star if this story is true.

I agree with you, but, he is probably their meal ticket. and their mentality is not the same as ours.
Don't know how yall were raised, but at a 10yr old my father was feeding cattle on his own for his father and grandfather, as was I, and my son will be also. I have seen 8 year olds that were hiring out with their father and grandfather as a day hand. Did everything the grown men could do. Probably worked more cattle by ten then most yall have in yalls life. :roll:
The problem is our country is ran by specialty groups that think they are so high and mighty that they can tell every one else what is right and wrong instead of just minding their own business.

Feeding cattle and being a matador are 2 very different things.

It goes more to a level of thinking...
:lol: I've probably been chased more by mommas who thought I was too close to their calves when feeding then any thing else.

That happened to me also a time or 2 with a few of my Dairy cows. One even chased me on the 4 wheeler, all the way into the barnyard, and I barely had time to jump off the 4 wheeler, leave it there and scale the fence to get out of there in time. Never underestimate the maternal feelings!

Baiting deer all year at a feeder, with a blind for steady rest, high power rifle, 10X scope is sporting I guess?
IF you had the choice of your death, would you want to be put in a ring where you possible had the chance to win and not die.... or would you want to be walking up to a buffet, that you have been eating at for months, and some one cap you in the heart and mount you on the wall. I would want to go down fighting.
BEFORE yall judge other cultures, take a look at ours. :roll:
