This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Álvaro Múnera’s
career. He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having
to prompt this otherwise
gentle beast to fight. He went on to become an avid opponent of
bullfights. Even grievously wounded by picadors, he did not attack this
man.
Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: “And suddenly, I
looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their
eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for
justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer -
because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like
the worst shit on earth.”
