But in the case this thread is about it's something different: We care about the bull because it is the symbol of how man disrespects nature. There are no necessities in bullfighting, only a mindless manifestation of man's dominance over nature. Therefore the bull becomes a symbol of nature dominated, the thing without odds. And when it wins one in a thousand times, obviously there will be cheers. It's not about animals. It's about underdogs in a structure of power and dominance.
