Take a look at pictures #38 and #39 from this set and tell me this is just a quaint little tradition. Photo blog link.
I could not agree more, and my family are avid hunters. But, they shoot to kill. And, if the first shot doesn't kill it, it's a quick knife to the throat.

I personally would like to see the bullfighter fight the bull first. You can make a bull mad in plenty of ways without sticking poles in his back. I do think the running of the bulls is cool. But, it should be the fighter and the bull; one-on-one.
