Read through the following description of bullfighting. although it is in spanish, try to get the main ideas of the paragraph. for clarification, feel free to read the english translation that follows the spanish paragraph. bullfighting is a popular sport in spain and mexico. the first bullfight took place almost 1300 years ago. originally the bullfighters used horses but eventually they ended up fighting the bulls on foot. there are various roles played throughout the bullfight. the most important role is played by the matador. the matador is the main bullfighter who has the responsibility to amaze the audience with his bravery, skill, and grace in fighting with the bull. at the end of the fight, the matador kills the bull by stabbing him with a sword. before the matador takes control of the fight, he is assisted by picadores and banderilleros. the picadores cause the bull its first injuries by stabbing the bull and causing loss of blood, thus making it easier for the matador to later kill the bull. the banderilleros further injure the bull by stabbing it with special sticks. bullfighting is currently filled with controversy. according to its supporters, bullfighting is a cultural and historical tradition that should be continued. on the other hand, opponents of bullfighting state that it is simply animal abuse. answer the following questions using 6 to 8 complete spanish sentences.
