Let me know if you do see anything at this moment - now its 22h35m TMG.
This is a live feed, should be closed in about one hour

[CrONoS]

I see something; but I'm not interested...

[carnide_]

No problem. I'm not a bull fight fan. Just to know if you do see something.

[EPW]

wtf they are running around prodding a mule in the ass.

Its the "forcados" mule.
The forcados are the guys who are going naked hands to fight the raging bull. Most of the time they end in the hospital with seriuos and life trethenig injuries.

Yes, its bloody, medieval and barbaric!

In a Portuguese bullfight, the bull is not killed. Each bull goes trough a 3 stage processing:

First, a horseman figths it 2 or 2 times, inflicting small wounds to it (Yes, its barbaric and bloody)

2nd, a foot "Capas" figths the bull, only to get it tired. The "Capas" looks like a spanish matador, but cannot injury the bull.

In the end the "forcados" try to grab the bull, bare hands. Once I tried to do that, and got so scared that runned for my life. Never tried again.

A Spanish bullfigth has just a "Matador". He foot fights the bull, and in the end kills it.
