Oh well!

Oh well.

Horrible. I didn’t realise bull fighting was still legal.

Justice

Good - audiences have probably enjoyed 100s of bulls being tortured to death over the years.

Karma.

Schadenfreude rules ok

Karma.

Looks like Karma, they found out what pain the Bulls feel.

Only care about the poor Bull

Had they not gathered to enjoy a spectacle of unspeakable cruelty, none of these people would have been killed or injured at the venue. This time a bull named Karma fought back.

Is the bull ok

Karma comes in many forms

karma

Terrible news…😬😬

Karma gets up to its usual tricks.

Great the bull won, I have no sympathy for these people that support this cruel sport

Good. Sooner they stop bullfighting the better.

Karma?!

Good if this is you're kind of entertainment 😠

Hope the bulls ok

True justice, serves them right for attending a bullfighting event. No sympathy whatsoever......

😁😁😁

Deserved. Stop bullfighting

Not as cruel as factory farming…. (No I’m not a veggie, not even close, just honest)

Oh well

UK news?

What a shame 😏

I think we call that karma.....was the bull ok ?

Excellent

Cruel barbaric so called sport, I have no sympathy for anyone attending.

Again, what did you expect

Good

Karma is beautiful

Good. Sorry, not sorry. cruel and barbaric so called sport

Karma

Oh dear. That’s a shame. Still, it stopped the bullfight. Which is a positive.

I don't know why, and the Good Lord knows I'm trying really hard to, but I just can't bring myself to feel sad. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Good!

Do I care that people who take part in bullfighting got hurt?

The horrific slaughter of bulls under the misnomer of sport, not only allowed by the EU but supported by them. Why hasn't this disgusting spectacle been banned in Spain?

I hope no bulls were injured

Score one for the bulls

Is the bull okay?

Karma?

Easy to stop this ever happening again…………stop the bull fights!

End Bull fighting 😢😢😢😢

I saw the video and the bull was already injured 🤕 💔

Wow so many others feel the same way I do. Why participate in such a barbaric sport ? It should be banned as more Bulls are always harmed than humans. Poor frightened animals. Should be ashamed

Good. Bullfighting is fucked up and wrong. If you watch it then you deserve this shit. Karma wins.

Sorry for the injured but perhaps they should stop all bull fighting now

VFritzNews Finally a good news story.

Hahahahahahaha

Don't *muck' about with bulls.. and not expect for them to get annoyed

Shouldn’t be taking place!!

Great! I hope Bull fighting is banned forever! Disgusting and barbaric.

Is the bull allright?

Nice.

Why is this news,its not breaking news to tell,us how many bulls have been murder today,is it

Hope the bulls are ok🙄

Karma!

More pride news?

Never mind, eh?

Barbaric sport needs to end, score one for the bulls

For everyone celebrating this, and I say this as an animal lover, the death toll includes a child. Of course the child shouldn’t have been there, the bulls shouldn’t have been there, it’s got to stop - but also don’t celebrate the death of a child 🤷🏻‍♀️

Karma 👏👏👏

And I have absolutely zero sympathy, it's a bloody barbaric past time.

good

Good fuck em all watching that

Who new going to watch animal cruelty would have consequences

In other news, here is the weather....

How many Bulls were injured? I couldn't care less about the people watching the barbaric sport.

Hope the bulls are ok.

You get what you deserve

Karma

Karma 🤷‍♂️

And some say there isn’t a god…

on that note i think i will go to bed

Karma

What a shame

Excellent news

Excellent 👏

Good......

I can't feel sorry for them. I am probably awful for that but going to watch animals be mauled?!!

Why were they fighting on a stand?

Karma

Good....👍

Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

Ironic

Good. Stop these barbaric fights

Good

As long as the bull is ok!🙏

Oh that's good news.

As long as the bulls ok

Good 👏🏼

Karma is a bitch

Karma

Why would anyone want to watch something so manifestly cruel?

I hope no bulls were hurt.

Hope the Bulls alright
