Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 28th July'08The picture you can see above is an arena for "Bull fighting" or more popularly known as corrida de toros (literally running of bulls) or fiesta brava (the ferocious festival) in Spain. The tradition of bull-fighting was born in Spain & was brought to Mexico at the time of its colonization. It starts with the bull fighter or the torero executing various moves for distracting and angering the bull & ends with the killing of the bull with a well placed thrust of a sword. Supporters of bullfighting argue that it is a culturally important tradition, while animal rights groups argue that it is a blood sport because of the suffering of the bull and horses during the bullfight.

The killing of the bull is heartless and completely pointless.
