Mazatlan 1987 - the Bullfight

Travelogue

a.jpg b.jpg Yes, we went to a bullfight. It didn't cost much. I remember small boys fighting to open our taxi cab door - they wanted us to tip them. I think we did.
c.jpg d.jpg Not a huge crowd on hand. I wasn't impressed with the bull fight. The matadors lead the series 23,047 to 0. First they cripple the bull by cutting it so it can't lift it's head, then they continue to annoy it before they kill it.
e.jpg Yup, we had to watch it all the way to the end. Margaret turned to me and said, "I didn't know they were going to kill it!". I believe her. Someone told us they give the meat to charity, but I bet it becomes dog food.
