What happens to the bulls killed in a bull fight? |
I just heard that there are 30,000 bulls killed each year in Spanish bull fights. I dont know if this is true or not, but Im sure its a big number. I dont think you normally eat bulls. Is anything productive done with them? |

As Jane said, the meat is sometimes given to the poor and you can eat it in many restaurants and buy it in specialist butchers. It does have a much stronger flavour than normal beef - more like ox. In fact, they do have a dish which is "oxtail", as in "oxtail soup". Depending on the bull "family" and fight conditions the meat costs more or less.
The animals are bred just for bullfighting. Without the bullfight, they would probably be extinct, and many are left to graze on the best pastures until they die (unlike the majority of veal we see packed into the lorries along the motorways).
They are definitely not given drugs of any kind. There are particularly rigorous medical checks and controls on all the animals (unlike all the poultry, pork and beef we so happily eat).
The brave bull is a glorified animal - not just there in the ring because they need to kill something. Each "family" has its special traits which need to be taken into account when it's in the ring. They are particularly prized, worth a fortune, and are beautiful, powerful creatures.
You need to experience Spain, understand their view on the world, beauty and art to appreciate the real passion behind the bullfight. There's no way you can be convinced that it's normal, or condem them if you haven't been immersed in Spanish culture for a long time. |

Every part of them is eaten...mostly donated to the poor, but some are served in restaurants, or at least there are restaurants that claim they serve the bulls that were killed.
Of course the meat and products are not wasted! |

Yes we at them. You don't know how good it is the "estofado" made from bull. And they are not given drugs or anything. They are just tortured and killed. As you can see I'm spanish and not a fan of bull fights. But is part of my culture and a lot of people believe that being patriot means that you have to like them. So it has a lot of followers. |

i venture to say nothing good comes from the slaughter (many say this is absolute animal abuse), as these animals are given drugs/chemicals such as anti-inflammatories that would not be very useful as meat/fodder of any sort. |
