The Leganes bullring where Ms. Duff performed is adorned with bullfight pictures and other memorabilia leading the uniformed to believe that somehow bullfighting is a worthy activity, even an art, performed by extraordinarily brave people. This couldn't be further from the truth, but some will likely be persuaded to come back for the pitiless and cowardly slaughters. While many if not most will likely ultimately reject this disgusting activity, some may not, and those who do have nonetheless lost their money to the killers.
