Very interesting interview about bullfighting


http://vice.com/read/bullfighter-152-v15n10

Former bullfighter Álavaro Múnera talks about his experience with the activity and that he felt warning signs for a long time, but was too late when he was struck by the bull and became paralyzed. Two managers of the bullfighting event commited suicide afterword. And what really almost made me cry is when he described how for training he fought a cow, unknowing to anyone it was pregnant. He saw them pull the fetus out and he threw up, with his trainer just telling him afterwords that, that happens and he needs to move on from it. He took that as the first sign of stopping, but just shook it away.
