Never mind this faffing around about not judging others

I had a bloody disgusting desire to see a bull fighting in Spain and I saw culture of Spain with all including. It was interesting, sometimes I was on side of a bull sometimes I admired a matador because he killed a bull by sword by one shot.

By the way I was at a horse race in the UK and I saw how they hit them when they finished and it was for me really horrible to see it. It could be that I did not suppose it.

I can not see boxing at TV but I like my lesson of kick boxing.(there is only shadow boxing)

WOW Non-Indians arguing like Indians.... Indian effect

A new thread for Human/Animal/Alien Rights can be created.
India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only - Mark Twain

And .... partridge fighting might be among the more least aggressive of all the human enforced animal bloodletting/cruelty in India.

  • snakes during nag panchami.
  • monkeys confined in hanuman mandirs.
  • foxes trapped for makar sankranti in karnataka.
  • poaching as part of tribal festivals
all of these are illegal and punishable with a fine of rs 25,000 and years in jail.

Karnataka has over 50,000 temples which sacrifice animals. About 5 lakh animals are killed every week in these terrible rituals that have nothing to do with religion, but continue due to greedy priests and temple administrators.

Who's being absurd?????? I was just putting the 'feather ruffling' into context with some of the other less than kind/karmic traditions involving animals in India. Not condoning any of it ... but I don't think temple rituals are any more or less a means of justification for cruelty/sacrifice/death than graveyard gambling is.

Others might disagree........
