It is an interesting topic one of which I studied at school along with the pro cons of fox hunting back in the uk and with bull fighting the bulls are bred for this purely nothing else, the matador is trained usually from childhood and to play with the bull and excute it painlessly and in most case is a father to son tradition (within this circle ) also people say it's cruel and barbaric, yet walk around with leather shoes on their feet, frozen meats in there freezer, and never think about the conditions of those animals, if it was banned these bulls would become surplus to requirement, the numbers would dwindle, then a new campaign would commence'save the bull'
