    Fair enough. I'm sure foxhounds are lovely dogs too when they're not hounding foxes.

    The evolutionary imperative to eat trumps this fun you infer is imperative.

    in english?

    killed humanely

    surely this is an oxymoron. killed quickly perhaps.

    When a bull is killed cleanly, ie. first attempt is spectacular

    Which of course never happens as the bull is speared to ensure that it is weakened by blood loss. Only when the bull is at the point of exhaustion will the "brave" matador approach it to deliver the fatal thrust.

    Your argument is wrong and you are a bit thick

    Is this asimple enough for you too grasp?

    @ junkyard - you may want to look up the correct english usage of 'infer'

    Your argument is wrong and you are a bit thick

    care to explain how? (not the me being thick , happy to take that as read, more my argument that an enjoyment of hunting is likely evolutionarily hard wired).

    I think Mowgli deserves some kind of award seeing as this was his first thread

    Ignoring the ethics for momen, given the relative frecuency with which they're impaled, I'd say they are brave.

    Except Jesulin, he's too stupid to realise it's dangerous.

    I've just found out on Wiki that he's a singer too. Fortunately I've been saved from that one!!

    given the relative frecuency with which they're impaled

    Relative frequency ? I thought when a bullfighter was impaled in a life threatening manner it generally made the news - even in the UK.

    I can't say I regularly hear about such events. So bearing in mind that the bullfighting industry in Spain apparently kills at least 40,000 bulls every year, it would suggest that it was a relatively rare occurrence.

    In fact I believe the last matador to die was in 1985, so that works out as one matador death for every one million dead bulls. In other words, a matador stands a one in a million chance of dying, whilst the bull has a 100% chance of dying.

    Doesn't sound like the matadors are taking much of a chance to me.

    common junkyard if you call someone thick it would be polite to explain why.

    more my argument that an enjoyment of hunting is likely evolutionarily hard wired).

    Thick was meant humorously you seem an ok sort to me FWIW and I have been out hence no reply.
    Sorry if I offended you that was not the goal it was meant tongue in cheek/banterish sorry.

    It is biologically imperative that we eat so we have an evolutionary need [hard wired?] to do this to survive therefore we get pleasure from eating/surviving.
    Hunting is a means to the goal of eating and it is not necessary for the means to eating to be enjoyable [anymore than the three mile walk to fetch water has to be enjoyable for us to continue drinking water] for us to continue to hunt for food to eat.

    I actually stopped to think was it infer or imply before posting

    Sorry if I offended you

    you didn't don't worry.

    As to what you've written it makes little sense to me but I'd love to know how you can separate hunting and eating meat in an evolutionary sense. It seems strange to me that so many people have an urge to hunt even when they live down the road from tesco's and this is the same in all manner of widely different cultures. None of this makes hunting either right or wrong because we have a strong evolutionary urge to do many things (like reproduce) yet we decide not to do it all that often in many cases.

    I'm barred from all tescos stores for hunting and then attempting to reproduce with the contents of the butchery counter, they were not having any of my extremely well thought out but admittedly flawed "its my evolutionary urges" defense. selfish repressive stripy aproned bastards! (I'd even washed my hands!)

    Had you washed your old fella, you'd have been fine or maybe they just like me better than you.
