Bullfighting
Bullfighting is a national game in Spain. People there also call it “terero”. It traces its past to bull worship and sacrifice. It is a game in which bulls are fighting against each other or a bull is pitted against a human, which makes people there very entertained. It is also called a “blood sport” by its detractors because many bulls and people have lost their lives over its long history, but its followers think that it's the finest art ever. People love it. Bullfighting involves professional "toreros" who have learned formal maneuvers and can innovate according to the bullfighter’s style. In this game the bullfighter is at great risk of being crushed or trampled. There are certain levels which also include grabbing and holding the bull by its horns when it runs at them which are very dangerous. The danger is also enhanced by waving red flags to make the bull more furious.


Although people really have fun and enjoy it, they rarely realize that animal rights are being destroyed by this bloody sport resulting in the suffering of many bulls, horses and humans. Many people are losing their lives but the ones who enjoy it really don't care. They are having fun but they don’t recognize that this reckless sport is risking so many people’s lives.
