i'd never been to a bullfight but was always intrigued by the artistry of death. i finally went to a small bullfight in acapulco, mexico and did this video. http://vimeo.com/8771542. some people couldn't even watch because of the brutality and i want to know what viewers--especially non-vegetarians--think of the tradition.

Hello Caroline,

I've just seen your video (which is btw very nicely edited) and I must say the bullfighting is kind of terrible and unethical. I know it's a long tradition, but still, I have no idea how someone can find pleasure in watching such a thing.

I'm not vegetarian, I actually love to eat meat...but this kind of performances are just too brutal for me.

Killing animals for food is a part of our nature, I know there are many alternative foods nowadays, but it's somehow more natural to me than just pure fun people have when they watch bullfigthing. Killing for fun is not fun to me at all.
