	July 11, 2013: The Matador Inspired by: Bull fighting is a traditional spectacle in Spain. A matador is in the ring with the bull and impales it with lances and short spears with barbs which are thrust into and then hang from the bull. After the bull has been stabbed multiple times, the bullfight usually concludes with the killing of the bull. Animal rights activists consider it a cruel or barbaric blood sport, in which the bull suffers severe stress and a slow, torturous death.
