That is some serious business. Are those spectators behind the wooden boards down at ground level in the outer ring?
ReplyDeleteThey are not kidding...
ReplyDeleteOnce, as I was spending a vacation with friends from university, near Biarritz (on the Atlantic coast), we participated in a light version of a bull fight: "Les vachettes". The cow was quite small, but pretty angry, and had huge leather balls on her horns. The point was to try to escape her in various games and not to get gored (although the goring itself would not hurt that much...). Basically, a sort of rodeo game, during which the cow would not be hurt but could seriously kick the players. I participated, and after a few seconds, was actually kicked by that cow, in the thigh. It would hurt for days... At least, I can say that I have tried...
