Bullfighting in Seville

05/24/2009

Today was a great day in Seville. Many of my fellow travelers went to see a bullfight. Bullfighting in Seville is a traditional game in the region. It consists of two Matadores and six bulls. Each Matador gets three bulls to kill. I asked the question to a local person in Seville about what they do with the bulls when they are dead. They donate the meat to local orphanages. This was an experience that brought chills to my body. I am an advocate for animal rights. Bullfighting is not a sport that I enjoy watching. The show lasted two hours and 15 minutes. Bullfighting is a seasonal game.
