Responsible for everything that happens in the bullring is ei president of the corrida. Make sure that the rules are complied with and gives awards that may be an ear, two ears and the tail of the bull killed. But actually the one who decides is the public who with their shouts and applause, and their handkerchiefs in the air shows whether the «task» has liked. Also in the event that the bull is lame or invalid, the president must give a signal with white scarf out to do so. For that they released a few tame oxen called «halters» to take the bull outside.

There are almost always three matadors and six bulls, two for each. There are good and very famous bullfighters known worldwide. There are also beginners, like the bull can be rough or gentle. But what matters is the party, the attitude of joyful people, the cries of the public that they forget the simple fact of the killing of a aninfal.
