Bulls and cows are actually red green colour-blind, so are not afraid of the colour red. It is the annoying waving of the cape that causes the bull to charge in a bull-fight arena.
They don't. They only charge at the rapid movement of the cape, not the colour. Cattle (which includes and also refers to bulls) and other grazing animals only have blue and yellow receptors in their eyes, no red receptors, thus a bull (which cannot nor do not see the red in the cape that the matador is waving at him) will be merely charging at the movement of the object or person, not the object or person that is of a red colour.Actually bulls aren't attracted to red they just chase the moving object because their color blind and they see it threatening.
Bulls only charge at movement, never at something red. They can't see the colour red anyway.
Bulls and cows are actually red green colour-blind. A bull may charge if he thinks you are in his territory (walking across his field). Certain cattle breeds are more dangerous than other breeds. A cow may charge if you are walking a dog in the same field as she and her calf. Young cows may charge towards you from the other side of a field, more out of curiosity than anger, but can be very intimidating to people not used to cattle. But in any case, colour is not a factor.
They don't hate it. This is a common misconception thanks to the Spanish bullfighters and the use of their red capes to intimidate the bull they are fighting in the ring. Bulls and all cattle in general are in fact dichromates, and only see in blues and yellows, so they only respond to movement, not colour. The red colour was used because it made it easier for the audience to see the bullfighter, not for the bull to see the bullfighter. It is also tradition in the Spanish culture to use red in festivities like this.Bulls become enraged by the movement of the bullfighter's cape, not by its colour. The red colour is probably traditional because of the obvious connotations with blood.Wearing red into a field containing a bull is no more dangerous that not doing so, but I wouldn't reccommend it.No. Bulls, let alone all cattle, do not have red receptors that us humans do. Cattle lack a full spectrum of vision, thus are only able to see colours that include the primary colour receptors of blue and yellow. Grazing animals are most attuned to yellowish green and bluish purple hues, and can possibly see some green as well.To say a bull hates the colour red is wrong. A Spanish fighting bull only responds to the rapid movement of the cape, not the colour of the cape. The colour of the cape is made so that the audience can see what the matador is doing and is only to excite the onlookers, not the bull himself.
It is just a tradition that the cape is red. Some say that it is red because it is believed that the colour red angers bulls but since cattle are colourblind this cannot be true. Some say that the cape is red so that if it get bloody it does not show.
It's so the audience can better see the actions of the matador in the bull ring.

No, bulls cannot see red. Since bulls are cattle, they only have two receptors, not three like us humans have. These two receptors are blue and yellow. Humans have red, blue and yellow receptors, and thus are able to see in full spectrum. Cattle cannot. Yellow-green and bluish-purple hues are the main hues that cattle are most attuned to. Thus, in the Spanish bull fighting ring, the Spanish Fighting Bull is only responding to the quick rapid movement of the cape, not the colour.
Yes bulls are colour blind. Since the seventeenth century fighting bulls have been bred on bull ranches. They go through several selection processes during their first three years, in which only those with the best stamina, courage, appearance, and coloration are selected for eventual combat. Bulls never receive realistic in preparation for combat. This is because they must, for symbolic reasons, be virginal regarding actual fighting experience. Also, because of their excellent memory, experienced bulls would be apt to develop tricky tactics rather than react just on the basis of raw courage and instinct as is expected. Like all other fighting bulls are colour blind. The myth that a bull can see the colour red, is just that, a myth. Despite most bull-fighters using a red cape to attract the bull, the fact is that they could use a multi-coloured cape and the bull would still charge at them. The bull is only attracted to the movement of the cape, not the actual colour of it. So technically the color red doesn't do anything. Its the movement from waving the flag around that angers them.
They don't. Cattle are color blind in that they can see most any other colour except reddish, pinkish and brown hues. They also have poor depth perception. Fighting bulls are annoyed by the movement of the bullfighter's cape, not its color.
It is just a tradition that the cape is red. Some say that it is red because it is believed that the colour red angers bulls but since cattle are colourblind this cannot be true. Some say that the cape is red so that if it get bloody it does not show.
bulls don't hate red colour.they only get angry when they see movement.
No. Bulls and cows see things the same way as the other.
It's not the color but the movement that attracts the bull. Contrary to myth, bulls are not colorblind. A bull's vision is dichromatic, meaning they can see in two main colors. These bulls are usually trained to be aggressive so that when they see movement, they will attack.
