Bullfighters: The Bull Bullies Comments

The so-called Sport! Wickedness of mankind on earth! In the name of a culture. Bull bullies! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

I wonder what was in the heads of the men who first thought this would be a fun sport... Did they see it as a test of their manhood, their bravery, their ability to kill an animal slowly? Must have been related to the men who thought it would be fun to throw roosters at each other.... You wrote a stirring protest from the heart for all men who have hearts

Insightful write as always. Wonderful to read. Another action from humans that I do not understand.

I've never been to a bullfight, and don't think I will ever go. Thanks for a very thought-provoking poem.

i've been to bullfights in mexico, and i felt sympathy for the bull. perhaps you know one of my favorite children's picture books—" ferdinand" —about a bull who refuses to fight. your last two lines are thought provoking. -glen

This is a very thought provoking poem.

Honorable poet has voiced against a wrong doing and misconduct of men against Cruelty against animals made humans as devils. It is neither a glory or a macho thing to hurt animals. In Spain the cruelty is well decorated but it's occurring worldwide in low profile by shrewd profit makers. I love this poem. The poet expressed well. +10.

Good observation and beautifully written...have you been to Spain....I was once at a bull fight performance....emotions rise to exaltation....Animal right people protest, but the cruel tradition outlives the protest voices...

'I find in the sport a sort of '. I fully agree with your observation. The mentality of people who indulge in and endorse the sport has nicely been portrayed here. Thanks for sharing the poem, Ma'am.

4 – This: " matadors maybe far better than murderers and war heroes. " Maybe this is true, but here i'd use " may be" . to MyPoemList bri :) nice photo

3 - WHAT! ! ! ? Athena is a 'myth'! ? Yes, they might as well feed on the dead bull. We in the U.S. eat cows all the time, but don't get to enjoy the sport without traveling " abroad" . ; ( i don't understand: " Tis fair play or fair game for the raging bull tis half blind? "

2 - bully boy: " noun noun: bully boy/bullyboy: " a tough, aggressive man" yeah, " sickle" and i use " ain't" once in a while also, maybe 'cause i was 'taught', growing up, that it was 'improper'. we SHOULD use " isn't" , ain't that right/correct! ? ha ha.

I think it's not heroic sports it's a cruelty on animals or human! humanity cannot allow it

Every eye sees something because of the brain hooked to it Great write from one brain to another

Excellent poem...highlighting the cruelty of a barbaric sport that should not still be with us in the 21st century.

1 - i see a message from you awaiting me. now to read about this " sport" . nice title. but is it the bulls or bull fighters who are bullies? i guess i should read the poem. 2nd line: has yor keyboard lost its " u" , as mine just did? stanza 5: i didn't expect to find a " masochism" definition to fit here, but i did: " (in general use) the enjoyment of what appears to be painful or tiresome"
