Welcome. Of course the bull is kille...Susanna,<br /> Welcome. Of course the bull is killed. What else would be the purpose? He is bred to fight. His courage, machismo, and brio has been tested. If deemed worthy of being a herd sire and spared, he never enters the plaza again against man or horse. If not deemed worthy, he instead becomes rib eye, the second reason for a fighting bulls existence. Much better option, I suggest, then being loaded in a truck, shipped to the slaughter house, stunned, bled, and gutted, to become ribeye without the option of proving your worthiness as a fighting bull herd sire.<br />I am not aware of any other kind of fighting a horse does, other then the nags that are fought against each other in Asian countries. I can't even begin to imagine a horse of Merlin's quality in a similar situation. I would be interested in learning more, should you come across anything. Who currently owns him? Did you see the photo of him un-tacked I posted in May? The link is http://circusnospin.blogspot.com/2012/05/for-madame-col-great-merlin.html<br /><br />WadeWade G.

The ...Heh :) Yes, I'm finding out a few things. The bulls *do* get killed in Portuguese bullfighting. And I think Merlin does another kind of fighting, too. Am waiting on an interview with his current rejoneador and more in depth research.<br />Definitely Bonnier and the Luso/QH cross though - haven't found anything against that.Susanna Forresthttp://www.susannaforrest.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
