After the running of the bulls, the bulls are corralled into the bullring. They are kept there ahead of the evening bullfights, which will almost certainly result in a violent death sentence for every single one of them. During the bullfights, the bulls are killed in the bullfight arena. The matador enters and attempts to kill the bull by stabbing him in the back with a long sword, aiming at his aorta or lungs. If that doesn’t kill him, the matador uses other weapons, including daggers, to cut his spinal cord. Bulls are often left paralyzed but still conscious as their ears and tail are cut off and presented to the matador as trophies.
