Bullfighting is a tradition practiced for centuries in Spain, Portugal, southern France and several states of Latin America, following prescribed rules of the fight between a bull and a man, usually ending with the death of the animal. Although often regarded as animal rights abuse and a spectacle of violent cowardice, it is protected as a heritage of national culture by European Union and is considered to be a form of art and a performance of morality, life and death by the enthusiasts of tauromachia.
