Bullfighting is a traditional spectacle of Spain, Portugal, southern France and
some Hispanic American countries (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and
Peru) and the Philippines, in which one or more bulls are baited, and then
killed in a bullring for the entertainment of the audience. Although a blood
sport, by definition, some followers of the spectacle prefer to view it as a
'fine art' and not a sport, as there are no elements of competition in the
proceedings. In Portugal, it is illegal to kill a bull in the arena, so it is
removed and either professionally killed or treated and released into its
owners' fields.
