bulls are generally agressive animals.  they don't like the feeling of anyone on their back.

how can it be fair when the bull never wins??? the fighters hide behind big barriers when it gets too close and when the fighter gets tired they change like a  tag team.  Does the bull have all his little bull friends in a line, i think not!  Does 'he' have a little corner to run to to be safe....noooooo!\n\ni say if you wont ban it, which it shud be haven't we had enough of open cruelty, then have a one on one fight if the bull avoids the mattador then it wins...oh and the bull shud get points too for stamping on the guy....

Yes and yes. They are responding to the motion of the cape, not the color.\nTests for this sort of thing are pretty cool and pretty cruel. They train a bull to get food from a square red box. The bull associates food and the square red box. Then they put two boxes out there - a square red box with food, and a square green box with a nasty surprise (frequently noise or a squirt of water that the bull hates) - and see if the bull can find the food more often than random chance would account for.\nAnd they can't.

My 10 yr old is in love with equestrian activities.  As a mom I was very nervous allowing her to ride on horses.  She started out on a pony and he gave her more problems, he bucked her off, the only thing that got hurt was her pride (but boy was I scared, I was ready to stop all lessons, sell her equipment and be done with it)  Her trainer has put her on the most gentle mare, after seeing the poor relationship that had developed between her and the pony.  She and this horse have jumped hurdles, gone on cross country trails, worked on dressage moves. \nSo, I say all that to say that while it does have it's dangers, just as football, hockey etc have their own inherent dangers, if you love the sport, you usually form a love relationship with your horse and it and you become a team,  It is a beautiful thing to watch young girls work with these strong beasts.  The dangers of broken bones, possible concussions or worse are probably less than with football, hockey, soccer, etc. since you stay up on your horse 99 % of the time.  And you don't have someone else coming at you to stop you from going to the goal.

I would imagine that a 750 lb anything could breed if it wanted to.  I don't see why a bull should be any different.

Ummm...no they don't.\n\nLook closer.  There's a tight band around the horse's belly.  Not dangerously tight, or "animal-rights-activists - attention -worthy" tight, but tight enough so that when the animal is released out into the arena, it bucks in response and tries to get it off.\n\nDrugs like caffeine are also used, and horses are for sure abused right before being let out to make sure they're riled up.\n\nNot exactly pleasant, I know.

The weight is, of course, dependant on the age of the individual.  From my first source you can see that at 6 years a bull averages around 1150 pounds (click on the link to table 3 and look for Lh-A and Lh-H).  \n\nAs you can see from the second source the mature weight of Bulls ranges from about 1550-2050 pounds, while the mature weight of cows ranges from about 1050-1450 pounds (click on the links in the upper right hand corner for sires and cows).

Would you believe that bulls are colorblind? Well, they are. The bulls that are used in Bullfighting are bred very carefully to be very aggressive (that means that they get angry pretty easily). When they are three years old, they are put through some tests to see how aggressive they are, and the most aggressive bulls are brought to the bullfight. When they see the matador waving his cloth (remember that they are colorblind, so they only see a dark grey cloth), they charge at it! Also, in the beginning of the bullfight, the matador stabs the bull in the back of it's neck with swords. This makes the bull especially angry, but the matador does that so the bull can't lift it's head (the swords cut the muscles that lift the bulls head). \n\nA red cloth is used for a couple of reasons- it's pretty for the people to see, and if any blood gets on it, it is hard to see. If you ever watch a bullfight, you'll see that the other side of the cloth is yellow. This is just to make it more decorative. The bull will also charge this side of the cloth. \n\nSo the reason bulls go after red cloth is not because it's red, but because they think it's teasing them.

Its not society back lash its classed as a very cruel sport in this country and for good reason. But because of political correctness we are not allowed to criticise someone Else's traditions. \nJust because a tradition has been going for a long time does not make it right.\n A Matador makes the choise to become what he is. The bull was born the way he is\nThe matador has the choise weather he goes into the ring or not. The bull is never given an option. \nThe matador once in the ring still has the choice to leave. The bull does not. \nThe matador knows and understands what is going on. The bull has no idea\nThe matador fights for fun and glory\nThe bull fights for its life in a state of confusion and pain\nJust because something has been done the same way for many years does NOT make it right

well in the bull riding event in the states you ride for 8 secs and you only use a bull rope and spurs.\n\nin a mexican rodeo you as long as you can. you use the same bull rope and spurs but in an addition you can also tie your rope to your legs under the bull to help you stay on
