  • Barka, Sultanate of Oman 27 March 2009.Bullfighting scene in Barka city..Barka hosts its old bull fighting arena where the bloodless bull fight still takes place. Brahmin bulls of a similar size are pitted against each other in a boisterous battle. The fight is fairly short, but enthusiastically received by the audience, and the bulls suffer little or no injury, unlike in  Spanish bull fighting..Bulls were traditionally brought into the Middle East for heavy labour, such as pulling ploughs and turning waterwheels. With tractors and machine-driven water pumps, the traditional role of the bull has diminished, while the popularity of the bull-fighting sport has increased amongst expatriates and locals alike..PHOTO: EZEQUIEL SCAGNETTI By photographer EZEQUIEL SCAGNETTI
