The pirouettes are so graceful, the costumes elegant, the footwork fantastic.
Those little spears into the bull? A minor part of the action, nothing compared to the horses act to protect the toreador.
More little spears? Watch how they are so delicately placed, the precision.
Even when the bull, in his agony, his horns filed blunt, gets more animated, puzzled, wondering why he is being treated this way, gets speared some more, the toreador doesn't waver, continues his precise placement.
The blood? It could be wiped up. The tortured animal? Oh, he's killed, puts him out of his misery.
Yes, if you like rodeo you'd just love bullfighting. The torture is such a small part of it, you hardly notice if you have an eye for the artistry.
