斗牛士在斗牛中因良心苛责而崩溃；将成为素食者

这张不可思议的照片，记下了斗牛士Torero Alvaro Munera 斗牛生涯终结的那一刻。

就在斗牛赛中场时，他因良心苛责而情绪崩溃，当时正在激战中，他​忽然意识到---是他自己不断地去导引、挑动根本是天性温和的牲畜来攻击他，他其实就是这场比赛中，贪婪狂热且嗜战的一方。

Torero说："这牛脸上的表情告诉我，这仗只是我自己要打的，即使它已先被其他骑马斗牛士刺伤而痛苦，但它也没有攻击我"​。

Torero Munera：「忽然间，我从这公牛的眼底，看到和所有动物都一样的纯真与无辜，它看著我对我恳求著，就像是对公义的哀号，深深地沉入我心底，当时我好比是一位告解者，我意思是说当一个人坦白地忏悔了，是希望....他能获得宽恕，我那时觉得自己真是毫无价值，糟透了！」

"牛在所有生灵中算是最温驯的物种，它们对自己幼雏的关爱及温柔​照料是无其它动物能比，简言之，我一点也不会不好意思来公告大众​，我对这群安祥动物深深的爱。"---Thomas de Quincey.

以下为与Torero的谈话内容连结，Torero谈到他将变成一位素食者，并将为「终止斗牛传统」而奋战。 http://www.rnw.nl/english/​radioshow/identity-crisis

Cows

This incredible photo marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Munera's career. Hecollapsed 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. (The look on this bull's face says it all for me. 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."

"Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures." -

Thomas de Quincey

There is an interview with this torero here where he discusses going on to become a vegetarian and to fight to stop bullfighting:
