They burst out of the chute at top speed just to be held back - clotheslined - with a choking rope around the neck. They are frequently harmed and some are killed.

In the preliminary stage (well, I lied there are actually four stages but the preliminary is not really considered one of the tercios), large capes, usually magenta and gold, are flashed before the bull. This is done in order to see how the bull will react. The bullfighters watch the bull closely to form a strategy for engaging it in the ring. If the bull is too timid, the fight could be boring because the bull will not charge when provoked, not allowing the matador to make skillful passes. However, if the bull is too aggressive, the fight may be too dangerous for the matador and he may have to kill the bull quickly. This is also an undesirable result. An ideal bull is one that is brave but the matador is able to manipulate. This allows the matador to show his artistry and skill in controlling the bull.

Such “performances” do not teach audiences about how animals behave under normal circumstances. Instead, they are often portrayed as ferocious and stupid.
