Can somebody please expain? edit
How a bull who started his career in 2002 managed not to get killed long before he ever managed to gore a matador, let alone kill anybody? Or is this article a hoax? -- Svartalf (talk) 18:36, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
- Not all bullfighting involves the bull being killed. See Bullfighting#Styles of bullfighting. Ratón performs in the recortes, as described here: "There are roughly 22,000 running of the bulls each year, and even more bull-related activities. The so-called recortes take place in a bullring, often with obstacles such as wooden stairs or platforms in the middle, during which anyone who wants can enter to play, provoke and hopefully avoid the bulls - all the while giving an audience a death-defying thrill. These events, and there are some 7,000 bull-related festivals in Valencia, are Ratón's playground." [1] Prioryman (talk) 20:47, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
