  • It doesn't matter the goat is dead. It's still a stupid old tradition. In medieval times we used to put a cat in a barrel, let the kids beat the barrel to pieces and then club the cat to death, while the French and Germans used to throw the cat into their bonfires instead. Today this tradition is still alive...but we don't put a dead cat in the barrel. Instead it's full of candy and the kids have fun smashing the barrel. Keeping traditions alive makes you remember the past, but you don't have to More..

      You don't have to chop the head of a dead goat, but if you want to, there's nothing wrong with doing it anyway.

    • @BeansAndOnions It's just so backwards..no respect for the animal and how many goats have to die prematurely so they have something to chop at. And can't people have fun without this, or is it only exciting if they can hear the sword slash through the meat?

      The animal is dead. It doesn't care about respect.

      It's just an animal. As long as it's treated well while it's alive, it's all fine. Once dead, it doesn't matter what you do with it.

    • @The_cake_is_a_lie The Romans used to enjoy people hacking each other to bits, by the hundred !.. "Traditions" are, in many cases, not something that should be remembered for so called civilised peoples .

    • @marius69
      what an ignorant jerk, a tipical american knucklehead.
      First: we are not "spanish", Spain and the Spanish language have developed out of the civilization by Romans of the Narbonensis population in actual southern France.
      Second: most things in your tiny stupid mind work based on concepts and archetypes developed by us, the Italians. For instance see these LETTERS you are reading...A,B,C and so on? They are Roman-Latin letters my poor friend.
      Without us probably Europe would h More..

  • Degenerated pieces of shit. They applaud him for decapitating that goat that really has no other choice than ...being decapitated.
    Oh well, Italy has a very strong Catholic background, no surprise there...

    • @decypher Nothin catholic about that. Also I don't believe this took place in the Vatican.

    • @HuskyTrail2019 So Vatican is catholic but Italy is not? Catholic dicks, are just like any other religious dicks.

    • @HuskyTrail2019
      you know nothing about the catholic church of Rome then, pal.
      Just one little tiny story: since the XIII century there was an alternative christian population in some parts of Italy called the Valdesi, in 1655 pope Alessandro VII wanted to get rid of these people for various reasons. So he engaged a group of (horribly) famed mercenaries from Switzerland, the Lanzchenek also know as "dopple solder" or "double pay" because of the ruthlessness of their military More..

  • Im Italian and never heard of this type of event (fuck them Dago's over there). I thought it was only the Spanish a-holes that did stone aged barbaric stuff like this to bulls. Shame on them !

  • I think it's important to note that this is not a living goat.

  • Before anyone starts ragging on Italians realize that this is deep in Southern Italy - almost to Sicily. If you've ever been to Italy you'll know there's a big cultural difference between the North and South.

      No need to apologize for the italians and their traditions man!! That´s a cool tradition if I may......and if the americans criticze it, it´s because they don´t have any at all.
