Bullfight

On page nine (Feb. 7) was a picture of a female bullfighter "dancing with a bull" before sentencing it to death.

My opinion is not related to the women's liberation movement or Mari Paz Vega (hopefully her name does not mean "the animal lover"), but I wonder if you could refrain from printing photos depicting cruelty to animals.

Man claim to be civilized but cruel treatment to animals still persists. Unlike man, animals kill for survival not for fun.

Hunger, sleep, fear and sex are common to men and animals. What distinguishes men from animals is the knowledge of right and wrong (Bhagavadgita).
