My dad was stationed in Spain while I was in college. I watched a bullfight from beginning to end one day on TV while there one summer. It's pretty horrible. At least in the one that I watched, as soon as the bull gets into the ring, he's looking to leave. As they start to screw with him (there are a bunch of guys in the ring to start with, including guys on horses with spears), he's still looking to leave. He didn't get aggressive until they had really screwed with him for a long time and he realized that this was not something that he was going to be able to run away from. Then after they have messed with him a while, and he's really bleeding, they kill him (at least that appears to be pretty quick). Then they drag him around the ring (in the one that I saw, behind a tractor). I was not impressed.

I'm OK with the bull winning.

The video in the article actually wasn't that gory.
