This photo apparently marks the end of Matador Torero Alvaro Munera's career.
He collapsed in remorse mid-fight when he realized he was having to prompt
this otherwise gentle beast to fight. He went on to avidly oppose bullfighting.
Even grievously wounded by picadors, the bull did not attack this man.
Torrero Munera is quoted as saying of this moment: "And suddenly,
I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes,
and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice,
deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer - because
if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven".
