In 2010, famed matador Julio Aparicio was gored in the throat by a bull during the festival of saint Isidro. The horn went through Julio's neck and throat, then went through his throat. Julio bled out on the arena's floor. Since record have been kept in 1700 fifty-two matadors have been killed and countless injuries have occurred. Bullfighting is just too dangerous a practice for humans to justify.
The phrase; “bred to kill” and “aggressive killer” are thrown around without hesitation from those that are not familiar with the breed. In the Pit Bull debate, the word "vicious" functions to vindicate the breed and cause a lot of negative reactions from the press and the general public, this aggression is nurtured and not innate. The fact that they are publicly ousted as a particularly fearsome breed doesn’t allow people to form their own opinions and forces them to feel afraid of them. Fear is a feeling of apprehension and a response that is both physiological and psychological, to the perception of danger or harm (Petersen 1996). When we hear of horror stories in the media our minds are made up for us without having an informed argument from both sides of the Pit Bull debate.
For example, he only fought the monster, Grendel, because the monster was killing all the men. MLK fought because he refused to let segregation go on any longer. Segregation was when the black and whites were separated in their daily lives. The differences between Beowulf and MLK were that Beowulf fought physically and MLK fought verbally. Beowulf ripped a monster’s arm of with his bare hands.
In addition, in 3.1 Romeo murdered Tybalt to avenge the death of Mercutio by saying “Either thou or I, or both, must go with him.” (3.1. line 129). This implies that Romeo held a grudge against Tybalt for killing his own friend. This grudge motivated Romeo to kill Tybalt which then motivated Paris to fight Romeo in 5.3. This cycle of hatred between the two families is also what caused the fight scene in 1.1 where the Capulets and Montagues saw each other, then spat rude comments at each other
Once Piggy died Jack got that bloodlust again and “viciously, with full intention hurled his spear at Ralph.”(181). the spear wounded Ralph and they began to hunt him again just like they hunted a pig.

This fear of the beast and what it truly was, was what lead them to brutally kill Simon. They were afraid of something they that was altogether foreign to them, the way it looked, what it ate, and how it acted.
What he is saying is that he wants Tybalt to fight him instead of just talk to him. This shows immaturity in Mercutio because even though Tybalt did not want to fight Mercutio, he still insisted upon fighting Tybalt and in turn got himself killed.

The boys are preparing to hunt and kill Ralph. They light a fire to represent that they are beasts, savages ready to kill nature and humanity. They no longer care about using such a fire for rescue. Golding uses this symbol to really emphasize the cruelty and bestiality of these

Although lucid that he is killing another human being, his demonic wild nature leads him to believe he is killing the beast, " 'Kill the beast! Cut his throat! Spill his blood!'....
Given the opportunity, Odysseus shot Antinous, the most perfidious of the suitors, with an arrow that “hit him under the chin/ and punched up to the feathers through his throat …Like pipes his nostrils jetted/ crimson runnels, a river of mortal red/ and one last kick upset his table/ knocking the bread and meat to soak in dusty blood” (703).
