This is correct. It is quite rare though. This honour is bestowed on the bull by the crowd or the matador if they feel the bull has fought well. The bull is patched up and retired from the ring and can, indeed, be put out to stud. I have seen bullfighting on TV during my many visits to areas of the Europe where it has been broadcast. The first time I watched it was through curiosity and I did so with a little trepidation. I was surprised, however, that I was more caught up with the spectacle of the event itself rather than repulsed by the blood thirsty nature of it. MC

Reminds me of the story about a restaurant across from the bull ring. The specialty on the menu is, bull's balls. When a patron complained that his portion was unusually small the waiter replied."el toro no siempre pierden." -- Peter

I dont feel sorry for the aholes who keep building and living in flood plains and who keep losing their houses here in the US either.

I forgot to point out that fighting bulls are indeed *bulls*, not steers: a not insignificant factor when considered from the bull's point of view. One should also take into account the fact that these bulls have been carefully bred for their homicidal quailties over a period of centuries, and today are the bovine equivalents of Hannibal Lecter. (True story: A Miura bull once charged a passing steam locomotive, hit it broadside, and actually derailed the train in the process of turning himself into hamburger.) |
