Well, yes and no. Yes because the bulls used in Spanish bull fighting have been bred to fight to the death. No because these bulls, just like all other "normal" bulls on a farm or ranch, are used to breed cows.

Each region of France has its own style of bullfighting. In southern France there is little difference from a traditional Spanish bullfight where the bull is killed. In other areas one might call the spectacles bull taunting rather than bullfighting as they bear little to no resemblance to the Spanish bullfight.

Fighting bulls are raised for one thing and one thing only and that is to die in the bullring. They are not domestic cattle but descendants of the ancient wild cattle that use to roam much of southern Europe. To compare a fighting bull to a domestic bull would be the same as comparing a wolf to a domestic dog. They look similar but that is where the similarities end. The fighting bull is a wild animal. They are raised on ranches that usually raise only fighting bulls and are kept in special areas where they never encounter a man on foot. The first time they usually meet a man on foot is in the bullring. However, they may undergo a brief test at the ranch to determine if they have the bravery to be raised as a fighting bull or are marked to be castrated and raised for beef.

While many parts of France have bloodless spectacles which more often than not resemble comedies, the true Spanish-style corrida de toros is held in certain parts of the country, primarily in the southern area and the bulls are killed.

The French style doesn't kill the bull; the aim is to pluck a rosette from between the horns.
