The death of a Matador
A follow-up to my prior post on bullfighting in Spain.
In a recent bullfight in Spain, a Matador was gored to death. As some in Spain morn the death of the Matador, others are not. In fact, some are even more outraged that tradition dictates a Matador killing bull’s mother must also die to kill off the bloodline. I must say this is a tradition that I didn’t learn about while traveling to Spain mostly because it rarely happens. It’s been years since a Matador has died at the horns of a bull.
I’ve pasted links to a Spanish website (in English) so you can read if you’d like. One of the links has the video, I didn’t watch it, of the bullfight including when the Matador was gored. While I may agree/disagree with bullfighting, I would never celebrate the death of a Matador.
