Sometimes culture is strange - Bullfighting should have been banned long time ago - we have animal activists burning down farms because chickens are not allowed more than 1 sq feet room in their cage - in the same time tourists can watch bulls being totured to death in the arena - because we can not forbid something that is so much part of a countrys tradition and culture - This is in no way an anti spanish/french or portuguise remark - just a reflection :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ted Grant" <tedgrant@shaw.ca> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug@leica-users.org> Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 3:46 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] elmarit 135 BULL FIGHTING! > Ruben said: >>>>Subject: Re: [Leica] elmarit 135 BULL FIGHTING! > > >>I would like to see #4 :-) or did that get all messy for the matador ?<, > > Naw those guys are pretty fleet of foot and get away so often it's amazing > they don't get klled every Sunday at the fights., ;-) > > I've shot bull fighting in Spain while on assignment in Toledo, couple of > times in Mexico.
