Fighting bulls, often referred to as Spanish fighting bulls, are a breed specifically raised for bullfighting. These animals are known for their strength, agility, and aggressive nature. They are typically bred from a lineage that emphasizes these traits, making them suitable for the traditional spectacle of bullfighting, which is a cultural event in countries like Spain and Portugal. The bulls are usually around four to five years old when they are used in fights. The events are often held in arenas, where the bulls face off against matadors. The practice has sparked debates about animal rights and welfare, leading to discussions about its future.
