Really confused that you can strike up any similarity between people considering the death penalty, carried out by society. Is anyway relevant to matador dying whilst trying to kill his prey FFS! The matador knew there was risk attached, (even though the game is heavily weighted in his favour)...
Truly barbaric, however to be fair, there are millions of Spaniards who abhor Bullfighting. In fact there are areas of Spain it has been outlawed. And more to follow, hopefully.
As for the Matador..' Live by the Sword ..........!
