Blood Sport

In spite of what PETA and plenty of other more reasonable people – just plain old animal lovers - might tell you, aficionados still adamantly contend that Bull Fighting is a sport. 

Their argument was bolstered yesterday, when  Julio Aparicio, one of Spain’s top toreadors, demonstrated that sometimes, even against the best bullfighters,  the bull does win.

At last word, Aparicio was in critical, but stable condition at a Madrid hospital, with damage to his throat, jaw and palate.  I don’t think he is giving any interviews.
