Bull Fighting has been a culture of Spain for centuries and the Matadors commended for bravery. Bull Fighting is also an art form and graceful, but I am totally against it. The bull generally doesn't stand a chance and I refuse to watch Bull Fighting (right up there with dog fighting.) I have seen it on TV re accidents and I can't say I feel any sympathy for the Matador getting gored and the bull winning. If the Matador went into the ring without a weapon, a cape and went head on with a bull then I'd watch! To torment animals isn't my bag!
