If you look up the WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals), they're running a campaign against bullfighting, which constitutes animal cruelty. Thought that some of you might be interested since a lot of people here have written comments against bullfighting.
Emperor Trajan constructed the Colosseum? Trajan's rule started 18 years AFTER the construction of the Colosseum was completed. Vespasian started building it in 70 AD and his son Titus completed it ten years later. What an uncharacteristic blunder from the BBC!
bull fighters are not truly brave? clearly you have not faced a 600 kilo bull bred for aggression. ignorant comment. ill bet you dont even know what bull fighting is about.
I hate it when people think bull fighters are brave and should be praised as heroes, bull fighters area not truly brave, they fight the bull when its tired and badly wounded before it even gets in the ring!
Also, you can NEVER compare a bull fighter to a gladiator because a gladiator fights to the death against other gladiators and animals that are NOT wounded before the fight.
@LvpvsRomanvs è una questione di tradizione; è impossibile giudicare i giochi di moda a Roma 2000 anni fa secondo il nostro metodo di giudizio moderno.
@toothpickassassin First of all not all gladiators fought to the death. That is a myth! 90% of them survived their fate. Stop watch hollywood movies and do some research and you will learned the real truth!
@GUALLACOL I understand and I'm sorry to those that have read my wrongly informed post, but that still doesn't make the bull"fighter" closer to the level of the gladiators for the bull fighter still "fights" a bull that has been wounded several times, has been exhausted, and will probably die of shock because of the wounds it has, w/o a bull fighter's knife through its head.
Spain is not barbaric. Some peaplo is barbaric, but not all...the bull in spain is the best most batiful animal, in more towns, have bull party, but no killer, and torture animal, only run with him in the street or in the place, but not kill him...im spain, and my english is not the best, im sorry :S
The Coliseum was not constructed under the emperor Trajan (98-117 AD)! Building of the Coliseum (Amphitheatrum Flavium) started in 72 AD under the emperor Vespasian. After its completion in 80 AD the Coliseum was consecrated by the then emperor Titus, son of Vespasian.

@grumdi1982 The bull has been exhausted before the brave bull fighter even enters the arena...

@grumdi1982 I can hardly call the unnecessary fighting against a 600 kilo animal brave, I prefer the word 'stupid'.

That is probably cause you don't understand what a "bullfight" really is.
We can start with the fact it isn't a fight or a contest against the bull. it is a spectacle.
It is the flaunting of death itself.
Even the term bullfight is an incorrect translation. A corrida de torors is the Running of a Bull.
(The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona is also incorrectly translated it is El Encierro a loose translation is to lock up)

I totally agree. Look at the poor animals, you can tell they're not even in a state to walk, nevermind fight.
