Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

A performer in bullfighting, known in Spanish as a torero, including the matador who leads and in the traditional Spanish corrida kills the bull, picadors on horseback with lances, banderilleros who place barbed sticks, rejoneadores who fight from horseback and novilleros, apprentices who fight young bulls, as well as participants in non-lethal traditions such as recortadores in Spanish recortes and raseteurs in the course camarguaise of southern France, who remove ribbons from bulls; bullfighting is legal in some countries and regions and banned or restricted in others, and its cultural value and animal welfare impacts are strongly debated, with positions attributed.
