bullfighting+;)

In Peru bullfighting is a traditional sport alongside with soccer. It was invented by Francisco Romero which he introduced the red cape. Since bullfighting is very iconic almost all local celebrations have at least one or two bullfights programmed in their activities. Though this sport was originated in Spain and was brought to Peru by Spanish colonists. In Peru there is a plaza which is the second oldest in the world named Plaza de Acho (constructed in 1766). This building is very important because only the greatest matadors are able to fight in the arena.

According to one study 79.9% of people living in Lima, Peru oppose the sport. The reason is that they believe it's a cruel and a case of animal abuse. For example, the animals in the fight get killed at the end of every fight by getting stabbed in the heart. Since this sport is only allowed in nine countries approximately about 250,000 bulls die each year. Though many fans of bullfighting fill the arenas with excitement. They cheer for the matador with its fabulous techniques to avoiding the bull.

This sport has impacted our society by creating cruelty with elegance. Also bringing a new sense of fashion. Though in recent years its sport has come to a decline with countries banning the sport.
