Just googled the torture process of a bull damn..
What goes on behind the bullfights
Most people are unaware of the facts behind the bullfights, all the torture that the bulls are exposed to "prepare" them for the "valiant matador". To start with, the bullfight bull is not a natural breed, but a crossbreed created especially for this purpose. The bulls are herbivorous, myopic and are released in the bullring only after:
- The animal is kept for a couple of days in a dark room, without water nor food to weaken it
- The animal is hit with a sack of wet sand on his ribs and kidneys. This method is known among the bullfighters as "bajar al toro'' (weaken the bull)
- Vaseline is added into his eyes to cloud the vision
- Cotton is stuck in the bulls nose holes and throat to make it difficult to breathe
- Quite often, the tip of the bull horns get shaved off, so they would not represent a big threat to the "brave" matador
- Laxatives are given to the bulls to make them weaker
- If the bull is too weak after all these "treatments", then thinner (turpentine), is dropped on his hooves and genitals, so when the bull appears on the ring kicking and jumping, it is not because he is "furious" and "brave", but because he feels that his hooves and genitals are burning with pain
- Often these people stab the bull testicles with knitting needles, to make them look "wilder and aggressive"
- To complete their evilness, often has been reported that the wooden door that slides in an upward motion to release the tortured bull into the ring, is released to make it fall onto the bull's head, fissuring their skull just before going into the arena.
