	Bullfighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The idea is to weaken the bull, and to damage his neck and shoulder muscles so he lowers his head and horns, making it possible for a matador on foot at the end of the bullfight to attempt to stab the bull with a sword between the bull's shoulder blades.
		The bull is not killed in the ring and the fight is accordingly referred to as a "bloodless bullfight".
		Bull breeders have extensive properties (generally in Andalusia, Extremadura or Castilla-La Mancha) where the bulls are raised free-range.
