Bullfighter Victor Barrio killed by bull in Spain
In Spain, a bull attacked a bullfighter with its horn, which killed the bullfighter. It’s the first case that a bullfighter has died in the ring there for more than 30 years. Victor Barrio, 29, is a professional bullfighter. The fight, in the eastern town of Teruel, was being broadcast live on TV. Television footage shows the bull throwing Barrio into the air before its horn pierced him on the right-hand side of his chest and violently threw him.
El Pais newspaper said that in the past century, 134 people, including 33 bullfighters, had been killed by bulls in Spain. About 2,000 bullfights are still held every year in Spain, but the numbers are falling.
In 2010, Catalonia became the second Spanish region after the Canary Islands to ban the tradition. Opponents describe the blood-soaked sporting events as cruel and violent, while fans say the tradition is an ancient art form deeply rooted in national history.
In the other incident on Saturday, a man was killed while running alongside bulls in Pedreguer. Spanish media said he was trying to help another runner when he was pierced by the horn in the throat. Meanwhile, in the San Fermin bull running festival in Pamplona on Saturday, a 33-year-old Japanese man was stabbed in the chest and a Spanish man in the arm. Another 12 people were injured, the regional government in Pamplona said.

答案
Bullfight Should Be Preserved Astonishment sweeps throughout the world as the first case that a Spanish professional bullfighter has been gored and killed by a bull in the ring for more than 30 years. Since many casualties have also been reported related to bullfights, the number of them is falling and some regions have even banned this sporting event. Opponents protest its violence and cruelty while fans support its status as an ancient art form deeply rooted in the nation’s history. As far as I am concerned, I think bullfights should be preserved. First, bullfights, undeniably, provide many job opportunities and a source of income for many families. There are at least 400 arenas in Spain with more than 2000 bullfights held annually, lasting for 7 months. Therefore, a ban on bullfights will surely put many people out of business and add more instability to the already fragile Spanish economy that heavily depends on tourism. Second, bullfights are conductive to the spread of Spanish culture and the display of its national spirit. The tradition is an ancient art form; as an emblem of strength and bravery, this ancient art form shows the world the unwavering valor and passion of Spanish people. It favors us a taste of ancient pleasure, which is a reason for which many people are drawn to it. To conclude, I think bullfights are of great economic and cultural significance so that it should be preserved.
