You need to know that nunca and jamás mean never.
A menudo means repeatedly, or often.
So when you use them, the context changes greatly.

I'm surprized that there's bullfighting in India. Cows are sacred but bulls apparently aren't. BTW: I know that India is multi-cultural, and not all the cultures in India see cows as sacred.
I have read that the bullfight in Spain is a remnant of the type of human/animal fight practiced in the grand arenas of ancient Rome.

I now wonder if this type of sport may have had origins in India, or whether it started in Rome and traveled east to India as well as west to Spain.
PS In re-reading your article, I see that the animal is usually not harmed. It's the young men who are endangered. It reminds me of the running of the bulls in Pamplona.
