Bullfighting, known as “corrida”, from the Spanish term, is illegal in France, but a cultural heritage loophole allows it to continue to take place in southern and south-western France.

Too much force from Gendarmes against bull fighting protesters
In SW France at Rion des Landes, protesters entered the arena trying to disrupt the bullfight. Their action was met with extreme force by the gendarmes and bullfight organisers,leaving one protester in a coma with a serious head injury. The gendarmes were accused of " brutality and savagery" and looking at some video footage it certainly seems as if they went over the top.
