giddyup Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 By bullfighting I mean two bulls fighting. I notice it regularly on Channel 69 on Banglmung TV (Pattaya). I don't know what country it originates from, but I do see Arabic words at the bottom of the screen. It's bloody awful, two huge bulls goring the s**t out of each other. I can't understand why anyone would take pleasure in watching it, and no, I don't watch it for more than 5 secs, only see it when I'm channel surfing.

kennedy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 We put human beings in a ring that beat the hell out each other. I guess that is ok.Put bulls in a ring that lock horns and the stronger one wins, and you make it like a cock fight to the death?
