Bull fighting - the end

Petra Nicol shared the following link and had this to say about it:

This photo marks the end of a career of Alvaro Múnera as a bullfighter. The man collapsed remorseful in the middle of the run when he realized that the bull refused to fight for his life. Alvaro has become an avid opponent of bullfighting.

Múnera remembers that time: .. "And suddenly the bull looked ... the innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me, that provoked a feeling inside, and I asked why? It was like a cry for justice. I would describe it as a connection, because if one confesses, and expected to be forgiven ... (silence, tears contained) "I felt like the worst shit on earth" ...

This photo shows the collapse of Álvaro Múnera Torero. From that day forward he became a strong opponent of bullfighting.

On his retirement. A tribute to a legend

Veterinarian & human extraordinaire. 50 years of true service to the animal world, the animal people, and to his animal-loving family. Four siblings all who care significantly for animals as a result of the way we were raised. To respect life. Because that is who our father his. Our father is more than a vet. He is a compassionate man. A vet who took his oath to care for animals to the greatest level, inspiring those close and around him to do the same. Caring so deeply. Working so hard. Ensuring that he always did his best. He has such depth and wisdom. He has always had a following of people in his life who he wisely guides. His generosity is boundless. He has inspired his children way more than can be imagined. We are pretty sure there are not many people who are so fortunate to have this example of humble love to follow. We are equally unsure whether we can truly honour his example by dupli...

2026 is already a kaleidoscope of joy

Out with the old. Thank you 2016, and goodnight!!!

2016 my dear year! Cannot say I will miss you. However, the lessons I learned in your passage will remain etched in my soul where they were sometimes harshly engraved. I would love to personify you and blame you. And yet, you have even taken the blame out of me. So I feel left swaying in your aftermath. So many people have left the planet. Some by choice. Animals have passed on and new animals have joined the family. Family changes have been enormous with all sorts of 'shake up's' along the way. Work has remained a questioning challenge. Interactions in general have been awakening - not always comfortable. So - good bye. And just for the hell of it - good riddance... Deep breath But that is not true. In real truth - thank you. There have been some good moments. Some great glasses of wine, swims in the sea, long runs and walks, time with so many beautiful creatures, painting class...
