Did you catch The O'Reilly Factor last night? Well, here's your chance to marvel at the spot on things Bill O'Reilly said in regard to yesterday's attempted escape—and subsequent murder—of a bull during a Spanish bullfight. This quote is just too good not to share.

"Again, there is simply no reason to have bullfights. It is blood sport. Spain and the other countries that do it should knock it off. They are pinheads for allowing it."

I was very pleased to hear Mr. O'Reilly comment on this. I was very disappointed at the mainstream media Today Show etc who showed the clip and only showed concern for the people in the audience. The bull was terrified and that should have been pointed out. It came across like they were only showing it for "wow" value.

By the way on some other news networks the bull was portrayed as the one who was 'overly aggressive'. Ugh don't they know he was tortured?! Major thanks to Bill O'Reilly and FOX News. Millions watch The Factor nightly so it is a big deal when O'Reilly condemns this barbaric blood sport. I have sent him an email of thanks to O'Reillyfoxnews.com

This poor bull was just trying to escape the monsters stabbing and torturing him. Mainstream media gave the tragedy a twisted spin said the bull ran amok. Blame the victim. Media often does that when captive elephants flee their tormentors too.

Bullfighting is DISGUSTING and UNCONSCIONABLE. Spain should be ASHAMED of itself. Seriously when are people going to wake up to the reality that animals are not entertainment food sports clothes etc.???????

Just one of the many examples of how animals feel pain and fear. It is ridiculous it was killed for trying to escape the torture. Thanks for covering this Bill we need more media figures like you

I never thought I was say "bravo Bill O'Reilly" but I will in this case. Bullfighting is disgusting and inexcusable. Those who engage in fighting or watching don't even seem to realize what it says about themselvesthey are barbaric.
