I went to Mexico City with our Spanish Club in 11th grade and the trip included going to an amateur bull fight. The bulls actually won a few of the rounds. In one, the bull tossed the matador out of the arena. In another, the bull trampled the matador. In the last one, the matador did kill the bull. I did know that the bull was supposed to be killed, what I didn't know was that they then tied up the bull to a VW Bug (an original, not one of the new ones, as this was back in '82) and dragged it out of the stadium. It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen. I was horrified that two of the matadors were severely injured (one of them possibly killed, although nobody ever announced whether they were ok or not).
Definitely a strange sport.
