I love the shot about 1 minute in right after the opening curtains - where the old man seems to be playing his beer like a trumpet - and there's a fart sound right after he takes a swig.
Way more entertaining than a bull on a rope.

Never been a big fan of tormenting animals. I always root for the bull - they sure have great aim. I thought a colonoscopy was bad - wonder what one of those foot long curved dildos feels like.

Apparently a lot of Portuguese people want to find out
I always thought it was just common sense to NOT jump in the corral with the bulls.

This tradition with bulls come from our Phoenician/Carthaginian heritage. The bull was a magical animal on the ancient cultures of the east shores of the Med.
Minoican bullfights were famous:
If you look to bull fights as something modern it makes no sense. You have to look at them as 5000 old ceremonials and stage battles, an ongoing tradition.
I think that they should have already stopped with the bloody part of it. In Portugal they don't kill the bull but I think that they could just put a big leader protection on the bull's neck with a target and go one with it.
Well, I am quite sure that it was Bullfight that permitted the survival of the wild Toro. Without bullfights we would have only bulls created for being eaten.
If I was a bull I would much preferred to have a long life as a Toro (they are only bullfighted once on their lifetime) having all the cows I want to breed (they are breeders) and run free on the wide planes of Ribatejo than to be force feed for a year and be eaten after.
For the ones that like horses, this is a Lusitano, a Portuguese bread with its origin on war horses, the horse used for bull fight. bull fight probably also contributed to the survival of the war horse and without that lineage we would not have Lusitanos.
