[edit] Japan

There is a very similar tradition of bullfighting in Japan. I remember it being mentionned in Will Ferguson's Hitching Rides with Buddha,which i am currently reading. A quick googlesearch digs up this, amongst others. Circeus 23:29, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

So it would appear that Japanese bullfighting is between two bulls and is known as "Togyu" (though my Japanese is non-existant). It's almost half way between cow fighting and bullfighting - it's certainly more aggressive than the former! Certainly deserving of an article, and one may exist at JAwiki. violet/riga (t) 09:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] refusal?

Saying that cows "refuse" to do something is sort of anthropomorphic, isn't it?

  • No, cows have a free will, so they can easily refuse to do something. Refusal is not just a human characteristic. - Mgm|(talk) 09:31, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Valais

It's more a canton-valais than a swiss tradition it doesn't exist in the rest of switzerland. --217.162.144.131

Not totally true, there are some fightings (ok, by far less than in VS) in VD. 85.2.111.125 (talk) 22:54, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
