Bullfighting is a great event that attracts many tourists to Spain and Spanish speaking

countries. There it is an important element of culture and has a great tradition. Modern

often a national hero in his homeland. The bulls used for bullfighting are very powerful, wild animals that are bred to attack. They weigh up to 500 kg or even more. Today many animal
