Today we went to the bull fight. It was our first and our last
bull fight. What a cruel sport. Within 5 minutes of the bull being in the ring
2 men on horseback come in with long pointed sticks or spears and they spear
the bull 3 times. You can see all the blood running from the bull’s neck. Then
the 3 helpers with their yellow and bright pink capes plant about 10 more
shorter spears in the bull’s neck. The bull continues to get weaker all this
time. The matador comes in with his red cape and plays by taunting the bull
with the cape before plunging his spear in the bull for the kill. We really
couldn’t see what made the people get up to applaud certain moves. They all
looked the same to us with the matadors strutting by dragging their toes in the
sand and posing while walking in the arena. You almost want to cheer the bull
when he gets to drag the matador a bit.
