http://news.sky.com/story/top-bullfighter-barrio-gored-to-death-by-bull-10497294

Once again Spanish bullfighting is in the news but this time as the result of the tragic death of a young man and husband.

Are there any supporters or sympathisers of this sport here? There is a string passionate tradition associated with bullfighting in Spain.

It's not a sport. It's a gladiator-type entertainment.

Sometimes the bullfighter wins, sometimes the bull does.

There is nothing "tragic" About his death.

In Pamplona there were two men seriously hurt recently. Also a spectacle to see, but not to participate in.

When a mahtador get gored, the birds are singing merrier.

Gratulations to the Ferdinand.

A question for bull fight fans:

I have never attended a bull fight, but when they kill the bull they usually cut off various body parts and give them away to the crowd, don't they?

Why do they do that, and what happens when the bull wins?
