Description:
Members of a team of forcados (bull grabbers) try to secure the bull. One man embraces the bull around its neck, while another
who tried to secure the bull's head has been tossed to the ground and may get trampled. A third is in the midst of tackling
the bull, while a fourth is ready to make his move. A typical group of forcados includes eight men. These men are usually
amateurs who perform one of the main events of a Portuguese style bloodless bullfight.
