Yesterday's post about a bull in a shopping mall in Bangladesh led to a comment from an anonymous reader, linking to a video where the bull-in-a-china-shop theory was put to the test. I thought you might like to see it.
This, in turn, led me to another video, showing a team of rather gymnastic bull-baiters (I won't call them matadors or bull-fighters) demonstrating their skills, to the undoubted confusion of the bulls concerned.
That's pretty remarkable stuff! However, I don't think I'll join them. One slip, and . . .

The last one is Minoan bullfighters from Crete, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteFrom what I learned, bullfighting in Minoan Crete was ritualistic, the bullfighters tried to get as close to the bull and jump over it without getting hurt, or hurting the bull.
I've heard the practise still lives on there.
Lovely to Look at
