El Perro En Llamas
Recortes claims to differ from a corrida in the following ways:
* The bull is not physically injured. Drawing blood is rare and the bull returns to his pen at theend of the performance.
* The men are dressed in common street clothes and not in traditional bullfighting dress.
* Acrobatics are performed without the use of capes orother props. Performers attempt to evade the bull solely through the swiftness of their movements.
* Rituals are less strict so the men have freedom to perform stunts as theyplease.
* Men work in teams but with less role distinction than in a corrida.
* Teams compete for points awarded by a j-------------------------------------------------
Hazards
Spanish-style bullfighting is normally fatal for the bull but it is also dangerous for the matador. Picadors and banderilleros are sometimes gored, butthis is not common.
The bullring has a chapel where a matador can pray before the corrida, and where a priest can be found in case a sacrament is needed. The most relevantsacrament is now called "Anointing of the Sick"; it was formerly known as "Extreme Unction", or the "Last Rites".
The media often reports the more horrific of bullfightinginjuries, such as the May 2010 piercing of matador Julio Aparicio's chin by a bull's horn.
Bullfighting
Bullfighting traces its roots to prehistoric bull worship and sacrifice.The killing of the sacred bull (tauroctony) is the essential central iconic act of Mithras, which was commemorated in the mithraeum wherever Roman soldiers were stationed. Theoldest representation of what seems to be a man facing a bull is on the celtiberian tombstone from Clunia and the cave painting "El toro de hachos", both found in Spain.[6][7]
