i obviously understand that it is a callous and ignorant way to treat innocent animals and my post was designed to seem like a stupid concept stated from an ignorant mind.

My apologies. Many people WOULD say something similar in seriousness, and you know how hard it is for some of us to understand sarcasm. :oops:

the topic title states that the ban is on bulls fighting.

No, the word is singular, but you do have a bit of a point:


it is not a significant point you raise.


Is it truly insignificant to distinguish the "sport" of bull fighting from the matter of bulls fighting over a cow? But all of that is irrelevant now that I understand you were only being sarcastic while considering your sarcasm as "joking" amongst people inclined toward hearing things literally. Such is life here on WP, eh?!

if there is a statement that says "male bonding is illegal" then it does not mean only one male even though the noun is singular.


Understood, but the terms "male bonding" and "bulls fighting" would be similar where "male bonding" and "bull fighting" are not.

"female acceptance into the fraternity has now been banned" is just as valid as "females acceptances into the fraternity has now been banned"..


"females acceptances" would have to be unnecessarily written "females' acceptances" to be valid at all.

All is well!

I do not approve of bull fighting but I wouldn't stop it either.

The "do gooders" have managed to ban fox hunting in England.
They would love to ban duck shooting and fishing as well.

They hate circuses with performing animals and even horse racing.

If they had their way you wouldn't be allowed to set a mousetrap or reach for the fly spray because it is cruel to the flies.
