I'm an animal lover, but being in Venezuela in Carnival I thought it was foolish to miss a corrida. This was a once of experience, it's nice to experience it for a while but now that I've watched it I think it's quite cruel and unfair to the bull. Before the torrero starts fighting with the bull the bull is already heavily injured by the person on the horse inserting a spear in it's neck thus making the bull a much easier target. I don't regret going but wouldn't go again.
After handicapping the bull, the "real" torero comes over to fight the bull
