In Spain, they do kill the bull. Kind of bloody, but they're bulls, they're purpose is to die for us, so I really don't get overemotional about it. The bullfighter basically sticks these spear things in the bull with cloth on them to soak up the bulls blood. This is supposed to piss the bull off -- in actuallity, it just weakens the bull b/c of blood loss. Then the bullfighter will stab the bull with his sword. If he's good, he makes a good show out of it.
In Portugul and other countries, I think they just stick the bull with 6 or so of those spear things and call that a 'victory'.
To each his own.

"they're purpose is to die for us": I'll ignore the whole they're thing, but who decided this purpose? And who said it was simply dying?
