Bullfighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5526 words) |
| The killing of the sacred bull (tauromachy) is the essential central iconic act of Mithras, which was commemorated in the mithraeum wherever Roman soldiers were stationed. |
| English-speaking critics often confuse the tauromachy with the coarse entertainment of "bull-baiting" formerly popular in Britain, in which packs of specially-bred bulldogs were loosed upon a bull confined within a ring or even tethered to a stake. |
| Opponents of the tauromachy respond that elite social status accorded to a blood sport or ritual does not excuse it. |
