Pamplona
In the last five years 1000 bulls have been killed
in Spain, to the obnoxious sport called…well,
bullfighting, by men, dressed in tight trousers
showing lots of ball. It is said that the beef of
the bulls is given to the poor and old which often
works out to be about the same
In Iraq, the last five years have seen the death of
650000 civilians in an illegal war; the aggressors
soldiers killed is of no interest to me, they came,
saw and died. Defiantly, we march and try to stop
the ancient sport of bullfighting; it’s easier to love
a dumb bull, it has fewer demands.
