Yes, they should, and so should Patty. ;-)

The most awful scream I ever heard in my life was at the bull ring in
Monterey, N.L., Mexico. This one bull was not cooperating at all. He
just mopped up the floor with everyone who came into the ring with him.
It's been many years, now, and I forget how many people and horses he
tore up or killed, but one thing I'll never forget is his dying scream.
It sounded just like a woman.

The idea is that the various picadors, banderilladors, capeadors, etc.,
torment the bull until he is pretty much exhausted. Then the matador
steps in. His part is to kill the bull with a sword thrust through the
heart, usually between the ribs, straight down through the back. The
kill is usually quick and clean.

This time the bull not only survived, he became quite annoyed with that
matador, so much so that he gored him pretty badly. With a few shakes of
his magnificent body, he dislodged the sword, which fell to the ground.

The next matador wasted no time playing with the bull He arched his back
and met the bull's charge head on, letting the horns pass on either side
of his body as he thrust home the sword. The bull collapsed at his feet.
In the middle of the matador's triumphal march around the ring, the
'dead' bull suddenly tried to rise, but he could only push himself up
with his front hooves; the sword had severed his spine, and he no longer
had the use of his hind legs.

That's when he threw his head back and screamed, a cry of baffled rage
and pain I'll never forget.

I left the arena then and have never returned.

I have always thought a peacock sounded like a woman screaming "Help".
The first time I heard one, soon after we moved to Oklahoma years ago,
I ran around trying to find the woman to help her! The same people
owned guinea hens. Hearing that sound for the first time was something
else! :-)

Heh. Have you ever heard a panther scream? It sounds *almost* human,
but somehow terribly *wrong*. It's a really awful sound.

What troubles me about bull fighting is that so many "civilized"
people will attend these things for "enjoyment". Something wrong
here.

I agree. I once heard somebody talking about attending one. He said
that it was sad when the bull died. Apparently the torture didn't
bother him.
