•  Support. But are these cows (lembu betina) or bulls (lembu jantan)? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:57, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Info From Pacu jawi#Pamainan, they are bulls which aged 2–13 years old (min: "Jawi nan digunoan adolah jawi jantan baumua 2 inggo 13 taun"). ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 09:03, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

• They sure looked like bulls. So I don't think "Pacu jawi" really means "cow race"; it actually looks more like it means "cattle race", with the cattle in this case being bulls. Would you like to update the file description for greater clarity? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:14, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Done. Thank you, ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 03:51, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment I think the description should say: "In this event, a pair of bulls run along a muddy paddy track with a length of 60-250 meters, while a jockey stands behind, holding both bulls." -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:31, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

• I'm sorry, my mistake. I have edited the descriptions as suggested. Thank you. ··· 🌸 Rachmat04 · ☕ 04:51, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support ok for me, good composition. Olivier LPB (talk) 10:39, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support the race in the muds, it takes a skill. Harditaher (talk) 13:50, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Weak oppose This pic gave me an awful lot of deja vu. It seems very similar to this FP and current POTY finalist. Not sure we need two FPs with a similar composition of this sport, especially since the other one has a more dramatic composition. Cmao20 (talk) 15:35, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support The photos are different, I think it is an excellent shoot --Wilfredor (talk) 18:06, 10 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support but poor animals... Poco a poco (talk) 19:02, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

I am a vegetarian for the same reason. --Wilfredor (talk) 22:11, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Another strong POTY candidate… --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 02:20, 11 April 2020 (UTC) 
•  Oppose No, Frank. Animal cruelty not good for POTY. Charles (talk) 08:09, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Question - Just curious: Would you oppose horseracing photos on the same basis? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:57, 11 April 2020 (UTC

• No. Although jockeys use whips on horses (the cruelty issue is still debated), they don't bite the tails of the horses like happens in these bull races. I would support an historical image of, say, Manolete, but not a current Spanish bull-fighting photo. Charles (talk) 10:23, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

• I hear you. Biting a bull's tail is nasty. Naive question: Why don't the bulls go after him? -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:41, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

• I guess for the same reason that a horse doesn't bite its jockey after the race! Charles (talk) 10:50, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

•  Support Christian Ferrer ^(talk) 19:06, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support --GRDN711 (talk) 23:37, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Way too similar to existing FP (which is better). —kallerna (talk) 08:56, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support I don't understand how this is too similar to this FP when it's clearly not the same scene (the jockey, the bulls and the background are markedly different) and the composition has more details. We surely won't stop promoting FPs depicting bicycle, F1 or horse races just because we already have existing FPs on the same themes. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 18:23, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 06:53, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support -- Of all the images on the page today to be supported or opposed, this is the only one I have come back to look at more than once. It has energy.Jacqke (talk) 18:38, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose It's impossible not to compare this to the current POTY finalist (and frontrunner, I think). The overall composition and drama of the other is better, and while I could see supporting another image of the same sport, this isn't it. In general, it takes a lot of educational value + wow for me to support featuring pictures of ethically problematic behavior. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  00:38, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support --Llez (talk) 10:29, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support Better than the other FP, IMO (which does not mean it should be delisted). Daniel Case (talk) 19:52, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
•  Support --Mimihitam (talk) 20:43, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
