The event turned into chaos as soon as the bull got tired of bullying — the animal charged over the barrier and landed rigt into the seating area of the stadium. While some onlookers ran in all directions, others climbed up poles and stayed there before the bull was eventually restrained.

The incident is now being investigated by local authorities due to the lack of security at the event. Bullfighting is a traditional spectacle of Spain, Portugal, southern France and some Latin American countries, in which one or more bulls are fought in a bullring.

Although a blood sport, by definition, some followers of the spectacle prefer to view it as a ‘fine art’ and not a sport, as there are no elements of competition. Many animal rights activists consider this to be a cruel, barbaric sport, in which the bull suffers severe stress and a slow, torturous death.
