Fighting Bulls Bull Fighting in Bangladesh where the Bull lives to fight next year! Every year, at autumn-winter season, people of rural Bangladesh wait eagerly to enjoy the traditional bull fighting in open fields throughout the country. They call it Sharer Lorai in Bengali. It is not like the bull fighting that takes place in Spain! Here in Bangladesh, there is no Matador to fight the bull armed with a sharp sword! The mighty Bull does not get killed here by the Matador at the end. Here the fight actually takes place between two bulls. These bulls are no less ferocious than the Spanish Bulls. Only difference between the two is that our bulls do not rather are not allowed to chase the onlookers in the open streets. And none get hurt after the fight is over. The bulls return to their owners’ home to fight again next year and do regular duties in between!! Here are some pictures of bull fighting in Bangladesh. My readers can watch the pictures from a safe distance! However, those who would like to watch bull fighting live; they will have to travel to this country immediately. The bull fighting season is now! Photo credits: getty images and drick. etc[/SIZE]           |

Thanks for your meaningful comments that you have left here on my blog page. True , many of us are not in favor of calling such fight a sport but village people of this country look forward to watch the fight very eagerly every year. I may add here that such bull fighting takes place only once in a year! It is not a regular feature here like South America, Mexico or Spain. Thanks once again, Puzzles, for your kind visit too!

I hate blood sports of any kind. For the life of me I can't understand how some people can enjoy such a cruel sport. Sorry about that looklook, It's just the way I feel.

The entire Indian sub-continental countries have bull fights like this one. These bulls are trained and well looked after by their owners. The watchers of such fights do not need to pay any money to watch the bulls fight. Thanks boogie for your comments.

It is always wonderful to read from you here, Carolyn. It does not tire me to tell this again and again. You are not unrealistic. You are a kind-hearted lady. You are correct that there are always people associated to Bull fighting, ready to break up such fight instantly, if it gets too serious and out of hands! Thank you so much for appreciating my blogs! Have a wonderful time.

Boogie, you are absolutely correct. The decorations in red and the paint used to adorn the bulls are not blood. These decorations are mainly used to identify the bulls of same colors while in fight, I guess! Here in my country, such bulls are considered by the owners as their most valuable possessions. They will never like to see them hurt during a fight! Though these bulls fight each other during late autumn-winter season to entertain village peoples, their regular and main duties are to mate with the cows of the nearby areas throughout the rest of the year!
