A Blog designed for discussion of topics related to, but not limited to, Circus, Zoos, Animal Training, and Animal Welfare/Husbandry. Sometimes opening up the dialog is the best starting point of all. And if for nothing else when people who agree and don't agree, get together and start discussing it, it will open up a lot of peoples minds. Debate and discussion even amongst themselves opens a window where there wasn't one before.

Ernest Hemingway said, "Bullfighting is the only art in which the artist is in danger of death and in which the degree of brilliance in the performance is left to the fighter’s honor."
I give the Spanish credit. With all the bull related injuries from street runs etc., those fighting bulls even up the score pretty well.
Ben,
If you watch the young matador El Juli get knocked off his feet, and jump right back into it, the "degree of brilliance", and his "honor" is unquestionable. Thanks, that is one of my favorite Hemingway quotes. I attempted to use it in Evansville 2 years ago when Marcan told me, "that's what you get for doing a special show for me", but he wasn't buying it. LOL
