Cruel game bull fighting
Games and sports are for amusement and development of the body and mind. From time immemorial a large number of people have engaged themselves in many games and people heartily love and adore the players more than the film stars.
But it is a matter of great regret that some games are very cruel in nature and many sportsmen meet their tragic end in those games. In the past, many heartless kings or rulers got pleasure engaging two rival players with open swords and in the end one would win killing the other. Sometimes a man had to fight with a tiger or a lion and, finally, one of them won but the other lost his/its life.
Still there are many games in modern times that cannot be termed gentleman's game. We often hear the death news of many players in boxing, wrestling, bull fighting etc. Among them, bull fighting is the worst type of game. Probably, it is the national game of Spain and lots of people regularly visit the fighting ground to see this game between a very strong bull and a man. People cry out merrily when a bull throws away the rider and attacks him with its strong pair of horns.
Recently, some animal rights advocates appealed for stopping bull fighting in France. But the Constitutional Council of France has opined that the game does not harm the constitutional rights of people. Really, we are unable to understand how a game like this can continue legally in the so-called 'developed' countries like Spain and France!
