Bull Fight
I spent a summer doing the back-packing through Europe on a rail pass, sleeping in parks & hostels thing. In Spain I had the opportunity to watch a bull fight at one of the local festivals. Just think of Stampede or any agricultural fair, and substitute bull-fighting for rodeo. She (the bullfighter, yes it was a woman) was quite good. Good enough for her to be awarded the bull's ears & tail after she put it down.I wonder what they gave this bull at the end of his fight?

I would imagine (thought it's hard to tell) that they are administering a 'coup de grace'. To be more blunt, the guy dressed up in the bullfighter's costume has a sword, and he's getting in position to kill the bull. A quick thrust through the heart, usually, if the guys any good. At this point it's a mercy killing.
