We just love Ricky (yes first name terms) more and more every day.

While many celebs use their platform to promote selfies or their latest app, Gervais ensures he actively raises awareness of animal cruelty.

Hitting out at one of the most barbaric animal ‘sports’, Ricky has now silenced any defenders of the cruel killing game.

Taking to Twitter, the comedian brushed aside any arguments for bull fighting, tweeting: "Neither I nor any bull wants you to fight it. But if you insist I hope it defends itself. F*ck anyone who tortures an animal for fun.”

He later released a video explaining his comments to those with lesser brain power, adding:

“The truth is, I do prefer a bull to win," he said.

"I’d rather you didn’t fight a bull. But if you choose to torture an animal to death for fun, I hope it defends itself. Self-defence is no offence. Who wants to torture an animal to death for fun, and what morons go and watch it?

"The bull doesn't to fight, so you choose to fight a bull for fun, f**k you.

"What was it supposed to do? It's got horns, it tried to stop a sadist torturing it to death. That's all it was trying to do.

"People who go and see it and say it's traditional - well so was slavery. So was f**king burning witches at the stake. So was child sacrifice. We've moved on.”

Go Ricky!
