Catalonia's Last Bullfight - Al Jazeera World

Stierenvechters zijn laffe mensen. Matador of torero is een ander woord voor zielig hoopje mens zonder enige compassie. Het opvoeren van een zielige show die ongelijke kansen heeft is zo triest en heeft niets te maken met cultuur. Dus stoppen met deze onzinnige brute''sport''. Het is ouderwets en past niet in een diervriendelijke wereld. En als er mensen zijn die het hier niet mee eens zijn..... bellen ze slachtoffer hulp maar of misschien een opname in een ziekenhuis voor geestesziekten. ❤

It is the beginning and I just can not watch this horror.

I eat beef burger and steak everyday.. this doesnt make sense😂

The shopping mall killed far far far more living things than the bullring ever did. Too bad urban humans are so stupid.

I'm pretty certain that Most of these Bulls,would be happier elsewhere ,making baby Bulls.The Real bullfighters,are those who,with several team mates,face a bull Head on and wrestle it to a stand still .No blood ,sword or cape .I can't say I've ever seen a Matador without a Red rag I wonder what would happen?

vivan las vacas

It was morbid curiousity which attracted me to my first bullfight, after 10 minutes I left, disgusted at this appalling display of animal cruelity, and the sensless crowd shouting ole. It should be banned world wide.

You're all criticizing a culture that treats bulls like kings for 5 years for the bullfight, while eating your precious beef or burger made from a slaughterhouse cow treated like scum. You cant be anti-bullfighting without being vegetarian, go insult other cultures that do treat their animals like scum, not us.

Brutto stronzo, presto verrai incornato.

It was banned from Catalonia because it's SPANISH culture👎👎👎

Che poveri deficienti.

no wonder israel destroyed you. you are a sick perverted channel that finds enjoyment in the suffering of others. al jazeera = al khanzeera - thats what you really are

Is cataluña better place to live since the abolition of bullfithing? I don't think so. The funny fact is that bullfighting haters love meat and they don't care how the animal died .

I really hope they end it. It is just barbaric. There is a line between killing it right away but they kill it slowly and clearly the animal suffers pain. It is not the same when they cut cow for meat. Here they wait till animal slowly dies and it just breaks my heart. Its so barbaric… IT HAS TO STOO!

It’s their culture. No matter how you feel about it. I personally think it’s a bit messed up. But it’s not my country or culture to judge. The Spaniards have been doing this 3 times longer than the history of my country. Who am I to judge? If the Catalonians themselves ban it, then so be it. But if they decided to continue bull fighting, it would be none of my business. It’s not like I’m forced to participate or watch it.

I like very much catolinya Spain people due to forefathers tamil....so like people.pallava, pandian,and choola,cheera kingdom people...

I'm very much enjoying this video. It is very good! Bad guys get a comeuppance. Of cause, I'm a vegan, I love animals.
Rest in peace to the ALL OF WORLD'S poor Animals. Perhaps maybe the animals say "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth"!

Brutal killing

Cobardes Cowards

Slavery was also tradition.

Let's be honest most of the people watching this video had their hearts throbbing. This is in itself a testimony how inhumane this sport is. People talk about culture but culture has to change along with time .Football from Spain is absolutely wonderful and bull fight is just as inhumane. If we had choice to live a struggle less life or have a good death ,I think most of use would have chosen a good death. Unfortunately the bull has no choice.

Now that it is expunged from the culture may those who promoted it as a spectacle suffer the hardships and torments and eventual fate of the bull

What is the name of the cowardly little minions who spring out from their hiding places to save the matador from being at a disadvantage?

Bullfighting is an important part of Spanish culture and tradition. We are very proud of this beautiful sport

spanish culture is still beautiful

It's a loss of Spanish identity vs the hipocrasy of animal rights advocate

Demonstrateers destroy the dignity of humanity

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭this is so sad to watch😔😔😔😔

This was a tradition.... people need to mind there own business and don't worry about what other people are doing....if it doesn't harm you or your family then what is the problem... animals are property

Nothing is perfect in the world. Half of the marriages between men and women become abusive. Are you going to ban men and women marriages too?? Or any business contracts ? Or the whole civilization. Cars kill people, ban cars too. Trucks produce pollution due diesel engines, Ban trucks too. Ban airplanes, noisy machines, ban ships, they pollute some too. Ban all machines, ban computers. ban cellphones. Ban electricity. Ban yourself first, dam idiots..

Bulls live a veery good life for years before that, They dont work, good feed, weather, and safety, and cows all over to mate. 15 minutes of hardship after a fantastic life is nothing.

I love bull fighting

A fighting bull gets to live a natural life out in the meadows with a bunch of cows for six years. A beef steer gets castrated, maybe spends a year on grass, then shipped to a stinking feedlot for months for 'fattening up'. If you complain about bullfighting, you had better not be eating beef, or any meat.

These guys have their brains twisted, how can it be fair to have a sword long enough to go through all the bull's main organs causing incredible pain, and finally dead, for the viewing pleasure of some sadistic crowd that believes that is Spanish culture. The only thing that comes to mind is imbecility by the masses

I first saw the bulls in 1962 at the Plaza Monumental in Barcelona. I was 14 and I knew I was in the presence of something extraordinary. I have since been to many corridas both in Spain and in Mexico. Some moments have remained with me for decades. I am an aficionado of la gran fiesta nacional de España and I have even dreamt of the bulls several times. It saddened me when half the Catalan nationalists voted to ban the bulls at the Monumental where I had my introduction to la corrida. The art of la corrida is not only Spanish but Catalan also, and Mexican, Colombian, Peruvian, Venezuelan, and French. Catalan produced many good toreros and Barcelona was the only city which at one time had two arenas where First Class corridas were held. It is ignorant to equate it only with Madrid. In the Basque Country there are many corridas and el País Basco is no more Spanish than Catalonia. Pamplona is famous for the bulls. The Catalan ban is what is to be expected when narrow nationalism raises its ugly mentality. The politicians who banned the corrida are no different from the autocratic Franco who is long dead.

luckly this event has been stooped

I am from Barcelona, I never understood the bullfighting thing, it was cruel, I am happy is gone, I am proud I was one of many did request that gone,cruelty can be never accepted as culture, never.

I feel so bad for the bull. They are stabbed and prodded many times, and have to go through so much pain before they die.

I am not Spanish and there is no bullfighting in this country, so I guess I have no fish to fry in this matter. I find it sad however that a 600 year old tradition is being slowly destroyed, for what? Political correctness?

Yes the bulls suffer pain, mostly in the last 5 minutes of the fight, but at least they can fight. The cattle we eat often don't live free-range like they do, are not bred strong like they are, they just live miserable lives in industrialized agriculture until a hammer to the head puts them out of their lifelong misery. Bullfighting bulls experience cruelty at the end of their lives, steers for food might experience it all their lives. Otherwise the rest of their lives it is infinitely preferable to live as a bullfighting bull, and in some sense preferable to die as one. If you have to go down, go down fighting.

Some political types will not be content until it is illegal for a man to live as a man. When bullfighting ends, it will also be illegal for a bull to live as a bull, rather than as a product in a production line. That day will be a sad one.

I myself would not harm a bug unless I had to, but I know cruelty is part of life, and I eat meat and am not going to stop so I am implicated in that cruelty. That's life.

Had to be a gay guy trying to stop this tradition. Go try and help starving human beings in AFRICA!

Although there are obviously animal cruelty issues involved, I feel extremely privileged to have watched a bullfight in Barcelona's bull fighting ring. This was back in 1983 when I was Inter-Railing. We had no money, so we bought tickets in the cheap part of the stand, "Sol" - in the bit exposed to the sunshine.

I had no idea what to expect, but I was completely mesmerised by the art of it all. Animals died, but I was fascinated by how different the matadors were, and how the best one came on last. Don't get me wrong, we shouldn't go back to those days, but I feel privileged to have witnessed it in its time.

I can still recall the smell and feel of the old bull ring and its iron turnstiles even after 40 years, and I wouldn't recognise the bull ring now that it has been retired and turned into a different venue. It was 40 years ago, but I sat on the edge of my seat, and I savoured every second of it (not the same as 'enjoying' it). Yes, it was brutal, but there was an art to it, and it is hard to explain unless you have witnessed it.

See yah 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She says remember the fighter's that die they had a choice the bull didn't no way to make money she also says it's a battle of man and bull it's only a battle if you use the means you were give by nature ie his bare hands

Cruel nothing less

Brutal stabbing

Honestly I'm sad I would really like to see bull fighting

My father is from Spain and we would go there every 2 or 3 years as a family and stay at my aunts house. I was very young maybe 10,11 years old when my dad took me and my cousins to bullfight. I always felt bad about the horses who were blindfolded i remember that. I can see why ppl think its barbaric to the bulls but i can also see the other side too. The culture,tradition etc..

Why!

U can’t kill no animals but humans it’s okay… wars there’s even rules
