This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Munera’s career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of bullfights. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this man.
Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: “And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer - because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst shit on earth.”
Such understanding in the face of danger. They scare me, but I love cows <3
Wow
In fact, according to that Snopes article, that picture is pretty much the oppositeof what people are claiming it is.
Ferdinand.
Not true. Not even Munero, in fact. In double fact, not even the QUOTE was from Munero. Read up before reblogging stuff....
This is why bull fighting has to stop!
