What happens at the arrastre door? As its name suggests, the drag gate is the place where the bull is dragged once dead to take it out of the bullring. This action is carried out by mules which are in charge of dragging the bull and taking it to the slaughterhouse. However, this is just the beginning, below we are going to tell you everything that happens behind the scenes.
From the drag gate to the supermarket
Few people know what happens after the bull passes through the sales gate. After the bullfighting event, the bull is taken to the slaughterhouse where a refrigerated transport truck awaits. All the meat from the bull is used for human consumption and this process is carried out quite quickly. That is why many experts in the gastronomic world consider that bull meat is the most natural and ecological in the world since it goes from the livestock farm to the bullring and then to the supermarket. One of the largest and most prestigious newspapers in the world, The Guardian newspaper, wrote a very interesting article about bullfighting gastronomy in Spain.
