This iconic photograph marks the end of the career of matador \u00c1lvaro Munero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the middle of the battle, he suddenly repented and sat down on the edge of the field. Later, in an interview, \u00c1lvaro would say: \u201cSuddenly I didn\u2019t see horns, but bull\u2019s eyes. He stood in front of me and started looking at me. I just stood there and watched, without making any attempt to attack. The innocence that is in the eyes of all animals looked at me with a plea for help. It was like a cry for justice and somewhere deep inside me, I suddenly realised that he was addressing me in the same way we address God in prayer: \u2018I don\u2019t want to fight with you, please leave me, because I have done nothing wrong to you. You can kill me if you want, but I don’t want to fight you.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I, reading this in his eyes, felt like the worst creature in the world and interfered with the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After that I became a vegetarian and stopped fighting in bullfights.” This story was published in 2012. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After thousands of other foreign publications told about the case, millions of people got to know the matador \u00c1lvaro Munero, and this photo became one of the most recognised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
