I have heard it repeated several times, mostly by sweet little old lady gringas who were told this by tour guides, that the beef from the corrida
bulls was donated to orphanages.
Now THAT's Bull indeed! I guess it makes them feel better, but empressarios are not noted for their altruism. They pay quite a high price for
quality fighting bulls. When they have served their primary purpose, they are sold, like any other cattle, to carnecerias for whatever the market
will bear, to help defray some of the overhead. Since they are definitely not as tender as steers, they are probably destined to be carne molida.
All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

An icepick to the thorax immediately before dropping in the water may assuage your troubled conscience. It probably won't make much difference to the
lobster.

Not to worry

If I hadn't been nearly killed by a rattlesnake I'd have a different perspective.

By mex. law if the ground bull-beef is packaged it has to be identified. It will say something like GUAPO
#43.

Pompano, There's an annual crawfish festival in Breaux Bridge, LA the first weekend in May. It's a huge party,  complete with a parade and just
about everything else thrown in the mix.

This closely parallels another thread post: "This last summer, the giant US organic supermarket chain, Whole Foods, banned the sale of live lobster
and crabs in all of its stores, due to concern that the creatures might be handled inhumanely. The company stresses "the importance of humane
treatment and quality of life for all animals."
Maybe Whole Foods has watched Rosie, too.....? |
I've never steamed one alive that didn't try to get out when things started getting hot, so they must feel something even if I don't!

Interesting bull(or lack thereof)
Even though this passionate subject thread turned some eyes it sure rendered some odd feedback. Quite interesting that so many who read it failed to
submit their own feelings on the subject. It could be some are too modest to shed their britches.  Big shock...
Thanks to those who understood the continuity and gist of the thread.
Then I start thinking about all the other wacky sports around. Leads me to the same old question: What the hell is a legitimate or illigitimate
sport! Who /what determines all that. I suppose if people watch then it's considered a spectator sport. When I saw these two guys beating the crap
outta each other on some TV contest the other day I kinda had the same feeling...it was easy enough to turn the channel.

Although I have only been to one bullfight in my life, I reached a bit of an understanding about the sport after reading Mitchner's "Mexico" Still
wouldnt go to another one but it helped me understand the culture that surrounds the sport.
Precioso is the word used to describe a great bull...I have never been able to use that word in any context after learning that.

Sharky ---
Your thread has good intentions. I was sorry to see the concept of compassion turned into a series of boiled lobster jokes but, for sure, we all
see things in our own way, same or different.

I have a great deal of respect for vegetarians who live their beliefs even though I know many would like to make it illegal for anyone to eat meat. I
take a rather opposite view. I believe most burger-eaters opposed to hunting live in a sort of fantasy world where, without really thinking about it,
they just assume that meat originates in plastic-wrapped packages in the supermarket. These people need a reality check. If I were a lawmaker, I
would propose a license to purchase meat. The exam to obtain the license would require that you personally kill an animal. Renewal would require at
the very least, wringing a chicken's neck. This bit of education would ensure that meateaters at least understand where meat comes from. It might
also produce a lot more vegetarians.

Sports casualties
But who needs cows in Mexico anyway (cept for entertainment) , I always wondered
why some carne served was sweeter than at other places.
Now I no.
from Wiki

In 2002, the 14 principal horse meat producing countries produced 700,000 tonnes of horse meat, with over two-thirds produced by the top six: 1 China,
2 Mexico, 3 Kazakhstan, 4 Italy, 5 Argentina, 6 Mongolia [8]. The consumption of horse meat in Europe in 2001 was 153,000 tonnes [9].

That's right folks, I don't eat horses(intentionally).
Pass the tartar please.
A nice med-rare charbroiled T-bone....yea baby! (shhhhh, don't tell my wife, she'll have the fresh chinook salmon)
