Azorean Bull Fighting.

Sort of a "worst of" reel, it's not usually not this exciting. I did a little of this. I found a little goes a long way.

“Azorean Bull Fighting.”

    It looks like they must blunt the horns of those bulls. Plus, several scenes looked a lot more like "calf-fighting" than "bullfighting."

    Though I must say, about 35 years ago I was dragooned into slave labor on a ranch (mom was going to marry the rancher) and we had to try and administer some medicine to a much smaller sick calf.

    During the process of getting him down on the ground he butted me in the chin with his forehead.

    You could have drawn the whirling stars around my head like any good cartoon. Set me right down on my ass. Even sick calves are pretty strong.

    Yeah, it's amazing how much bigger they look from up close.
