Vying to become the national sport of Venezuela is coleo, less bloody than
bullfighting and "truly Venezuelan," a spokesman for the national coleo
organization told The New York Times in September. Four men on horses chase a
bull in a large pen, competing to see who can tip it over the most times by
yanking on its tail. If the bull hasn't broken any legs when it falls, the men
must get it back on its feet quickly by further twisting (or biting) the tail
or by electric prod, so that the game can continue. [New York Times, 9-10-06]
