I vote for slaughter, personally - but this is a wonderful image Traveller, IMHO, of an animal valiantly, but needlessly, fighting for its life.

Don't call bull-fighting «a sport», Paul: the «aficionados» see it as an *art* (while opponents consider it to be a cruel «slaughter»)... ~ db.

No, the hind legs are chained together and the animal is dragged from the ring and goes straight to the abattoir and thence to your street-side burrito. Traveller

I see multiple instances of red there. Do they have a community feast (on the bull) after the fight is over? I really don't know much about this sport other than the bull usually doesn't survive. Paul
