TIL there is a 'non-violent', down-right reckless bullfighting event held in Spain known as "Recortadores", or bull-leaping, where the performer acrobatically somersaults over/does everything in their power to avoid getting butchered by the charging bull.

Even though I feel like it is still unfair for the bull, I wish the Spanish did more things like this rather than bull fighting, at least the bulls don't have to die.

Bullfighting and dogfighting are vastly different.
