How are bulls portrayed in the media? More recently, bulls have begun to catch my interest because of the way they are both portrayed in media and perceived in everyday life. When I think of bulls, I am reminded of depictions of aggression and recklessness. Bulls are often depicted in an exaggerated and violent manner. Whether the general perception of bulls is caused by media portrayals or if media portrayals are a product of their perception is up to you, but bulls are very interesting nonetheless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bulls are generally more aggressive than the average cow<\/a>, but they are often provoked or shown to be provoked. While researching for this blog post, I stumbled upon an unknown clip from Looney Tunes <\/em>where Bugs Bunny finds himself in an arena with a bull and a matador, or a “bullfighter”, and he begins to provoke the bull and start his old-timey, exaggerated, cartoon shenanigans on the bull. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
