"Word of the demise of bullfighting might cheer Americans who find the sport barbaric, but that is not the issue in Mexico. To fans of the sport, death is acceptable if the struggle is artistic and heroic. The sin is in killing badly or with unfair advantage, such as was described in a confidential report last year [2001]." (LOS ANGELES TIMES) The author examines the state of bullfighting in Mexico, where the once-proud sport is struggling to stay alive.
