About time! This should have been put to rest a long time ago. You sick people! Torturing these animals. I'd love to see how YOU'D feel if someone put glass in your flesh and treated you like that. Bet you wouldn't like it.
I can't believe it took this long, now if only they would herd all the knuckle dragging spectators of this barbarous sport into an arena of angry bulls.
Good riddance to a cruel "sport." Why not convert all of the bull rings into boxing rings. If these people want to display their courage they should do it against each other- mano e mano.
Better to go out like a man(or Bull) than to succumb to the hammer and become hamburger like a silly cow.
