Bullfighting is a physical contest that involves a bullfighter attempting to subdue, immobilize, or kill a bull, usually according to a set of rules, guidelines, or cultural expectations. Bullfighting can also loosely refer to other spectacles in which two bulls are pitted against each other, that is, bull wrestling.
