BULLFIGHTING (Part 3)

Jack and Alex keep on discussing about bullfighting and "blood sports". Jack insists that it is the killing of the bull what really turns him off about bullfighting.

Trying to convince Jack, Alex says that if bulls were not killed in bullfights, they would be killed for other purposes, or never be bred at all.

Jack agrees that putting it like that makes him begin to see things in a different light. But he insists that seeing the death of the bull and the blood would be too much for him.

Alex replies that Jack's feelings are valid for him because he just see it differently. To Alex, watching a bullfight makes him feel like he is experiencing a dramatization of some of life’s greatest emotions.

Jack says that coming to a real conclusion to that argument is probably impossible, but accepts that Alex has made him see his point of view. Finally, Alex says he will settle for that.
