Gored

"You hear? Muerto. Dead. He's dead. With a horn through him. All for morning fun. Es muy flamenco" (page 202). Jake is speaking to a waiter about the man who was killed by a bull. He left a wife and two kids. I could not believe it when the event was described. People are running from a bull that was set loose. It is a miracle that nobody else was gored. The man had risked everything just to see a bull. He risked seeing his wife and children again just to participate in a stupid sport. I do not understand why people want to watch other people play with the bulls and then kill them. I do not support animal cruelty.
