"No More Bulls" (不再决斗)

Liu Dao

Greetings. I’ll tell you a bit about myself in case you had any mild curiosity about whereabouts I’m from and what I do. At a glance most would just refer to me as a Bulldog, which is generally true. Use of that term to describe me and dogs with a similar look gained popularity in the 1500’s as we were used in a rousing sport known asbull-baiting. Humans would put a good bunch of us little dogs together with a bull and bet on which of us would take it down. A few hundred years of this (as well as other spin offs such as bear-baiting) led to most of us being bred shorter, stockier and with looser skin that can handle being bitten or torn without killing us. Yes, in many ways I look the way I look because people have strange taste in entertainment and too much time. Not a lot has changed, luckily though they now prefer me laying on the couch or chasing a tennis ball. Makes me wonder what we’ll be doing another few hundred years from now.
