Bull riding is one of the fine traditions that burnish the nobility and elegance of both beast and man. It emerged as a part of the country’s heritage, where bullfighter battles with the animal. People who appreciated this tradition never found Ricky Gervais to agree with them. A vocal supporter of animal rights, this popular comedian always raised questions about animal cruelty.

In one of his recent tweets, he described the fireworks in bullfighting as ‘annoying and pointless.’ It is not the first time that he is in the spotlight because of expressing his distaste for the bull riding world. He even once launched a foul-mouthed tirade against a teenage bullfighter and bashed him, describing him as a “little c****.”

The comic icon Ricky Gervais has spoken out against different bullfighting practices over the world. He even bashed the young bullfighter Michael Lagravere Peniche over the internet, saying, “Nothing less than a C***.”

Michael began his bullfighting career at the age of five and gathered people’s appreciation all over the world. So, Ricky’s foul tweet about Micheal made him fall into the fiery Twitter debate.

It could not stop Garvais from posting another tweet where he wrote, “Neither I, nor any bull wants you to fight it for entertainment. But, if you insist, I hope it wins. Self-defence is no offense.”

Furthermore, he forcefully said to Metro, “Good, hope you ruined your tights. Now, stop torturing bulls, you sadistic, sequined, c**t.” Then, one of the Twitter users pointed out that the teenage matador just carried out what he learned from his elders. He just gave them a quick shrift.

Marlen, a Twitter user, commented, “He’s a child. Not his fault he was brought up believing what he is doing is right. Attack the idiots who taught him.” Then, Gervais gave a savage reply saying, “I know. That’s why I used the word little. His parents are massive c****.” However, thousands of people agreed with the stance of Gervais and even retweeted his original post.
