To an Anglo- Saxon it is regarded as cruel and distasteful. We tend to misinterpret "La Fiesta Brava" as a sport be- tween men and bulls. However, there is no contest involved in any way, unless of course, you consider the contest of courage and fear within the matador himself. Spectators see many ele- ments taking place When El Torro charges his opponent. Such human qualities as cour- age, cowardice, fear, cruelty and honor... all.aimed at the final outcome ... death, inevi- table for the bull. and often- times, the price paid by the matador himself. Sitting in Plaza De Toros in either Mexico City or Acapul- co, you can't control your emo- tions during the fight. Min- gling with the Latins and other "interested"' tourists, I sat through my first bullfight watching four torros put to death by the sword. * A feeling of sympathy for the bull crept over me, only later to turn to utter disgust for the entire spectacle. To my way of thinking it was an un- fair fight -- the bull had little chance as the odds were so heavily stacked against him. And this just ain't cricket ac- cording to the rules of fair play which are predominate in Canadian sports. The ultimate goal of the ma- tador is to kill the bull. The coup de grace is done with a sword, which the matador rams between the bull's shoul- ders 'into an area no bigger than a silver dollar. A perfect thrust usually kills the bull, but often the animal collapses to its knees and then a pun- tillero jabs his dagger into the base of the skull killing the bull instantly. However, if the matador does not hit his mark, the sword rips into flesh and bone, crippling the courageous beast to the extent where it becomes a gory creature staggering about the ring. I saw one mata- dor miss five times with his "moment of truth" thrust. The results were not pretty. It is mandatory that the bull's head must be lowered in order to make a good kill. This is done during the 12-minute fight by the matador and his associates (toreros), who wear down the powerful animals by various methods. Also, a dag- ger is rammed into the bull's neck before he enters the ring. Banderilleros jab six barbed sticks into the bull's shoulders and picadores on horseback uses a vara (lance) to jamp into the shoulders. And during all this the matador and _ his pals wave pink and red capes in front of El Torro. The bull is kept in a_ revolving door throughout. It is impressed upon the tourists that each manouvre is intended not to inflict pain upon the bull. Each facet has a definite purpose. But the mata- dor must kill it bravely and skillfully, and to do this he must prepare the bull for death "in an artistic, yet domi- nating manner, risking his own life." When the bull is finally Stabbed to .death a mule team races into the sandy arena. The bull is chained to the team and dragged away. When the last animal has been killed and the final blotches of blood darken the sand, you head for the exit, feeling slightly weak in the knees and extremely dry in the throat. Looking about, you are not happy about being a mem- ber of the human race. Waiting for a taxi to speed you away to fresh air, a young- ster tugs at your sleeve hold- ing a paper mache bull in one hand and a pair of horns in the other asking: "Want to buy some souvenirs?"
