Nowhere does it say the bull always loses.

Does the bull get to wear a fancy suit now?

Since the bulls are tortured and weakened before the matador even enters the ring, no sympathy from me if the bull actually wins one.

Right.If the bull always lost, then there would be no entertainment value. It’s the thrill of the fight and an uncertain outcome that makes it worth watching.

Does the bull come with a warning label or EULA attached to his ear for the matador to read?

People risk their lives for really good reasons, and sometimes for really stupid and destructive ones.

I’ve been around cattle most of my life.A pissed off bull is a formidable adversary.Surprisingly,a cow can be just as bad.

AMEN Brother!
The bull is already half dead before the "so called fight" begins!
The bull is "walking dead" no matter the outcome.

I always cheer for the bulls in these events. They had a pretty good year, those bulls! One matador dead and two spectators grievously wounded. Several others trampled.

Go Bulls!

Love it when a story has a happy ending. The bull won this round.

But when a cow wants to play, it’s hilarious. Still get knocked on your ass, though.
