Yes it (shaving) happens, but not that often. It is the force behind the shaved horn, the bull still has plenty of muscle to toss or gor anyone standing in its way, they're not confused or helpless at all, until they are dispatched.

Hahahahaha, as if the bulls didn't have their horns filed before the corridas... yeah, matadors are so "brave", of course...

The bullfighter is not armed during a bullfight, except for dispatching the bull (time to kill). During the faena, the bullfighter only has a red cape (muleta) and an ayudado (wooden or aluminum sword) which is not used as armament but as a helper (ayudar is the verb for Help). Where as the bull has two very sharp pointed horns, that at any moment can kill or maim a bullfighter. "Bull not trained"...trained to do what, follow a cape? Then it wouldnt be called a bullfight, but more of a circus. Funny stuff. Yes bullfighters are trained, just like in professional sports, you have the minor leagues, then the "big show". And?.... Hogwash….

But it takes more than a few bucks to destroy a bloody business kept by the elites who criticize the paramilitaries and the guerrillas but at the same time don't hide their thirst for blood. They're just disgusting. And a few "pacific" protest won't change anything. Nice, very nice.
