Filhos da puta, morram!

I never go back into a bullring again. I'm ashamed of the times I've been. These activists have opened my eyes. No, these activists do not, but the group of barbarians who assaults anyone with two legs.

I do not know who the Vegan Strike Group is, nor do I care; I only watch the videos.
I feel sorry for the couple who are attending the bullfight with their young children. What will these children are seeing? I think that parents have realized the show they have taken their kids to.
How brave those "gentlemen" who beat the detainees in the bullring alley! Courageous is the gentleman wearing black shirt that sticks a bandarilha on the back to one of them. I think he's a failed bullfighter.
And the cavaleiro (cavaleiro is a word that comes from “having horses”, that is to say a gentleman) haranguing the enraged lovers of the "art" of bullfighting to beat them: Têm de levar mais, filhos da puta, morram!
Already on the street, these people almost hurt a little girl who was in her buggy with her parents and when the father tries to help a woman who was being beaten he also receives his own. Of course it was not a single person - the violence is contagious - there were four who surrounded him and the one who came from behind (another brave) took the opportunity to hit him on the head.
When the Vegans are removed from the bullring, most of the public - they have paid for an entrance and these activists are teasing the bash - applaud those who have reduced them. Although there are many other people - they have also paid for their tickets - they are a little disconcerted. Tourists may think that everything is part of the party, but some of the natives will be asking, what am I doing here?
The hero. This character deserves a paragraph for him only. I´m struck by a young man —I believe he's in denim with a clear shirt— which comes out of the burladero with determination and knocks down an activist by surprise. When the situation is controlled he goes in search of the second one and tries to stop it too, then makes a feint to retire to the burladero but no, he thinks that a little more prominence would be good for when he is with colleagues in the bar and strut of what he has done, and go back to the second activist if necessary. Still more: when he verifies that the second of the invaders is well guarded, he turns towards the third one, only that in this occasion the third vegan does not need his power because he is immobilized in the ground. Two out of three. This young man should have been carried out of the arena on the shoulders of his crew.
I also emphasize the attitude of the forcados. Altogether, behind the barrier, neither whistle nor applaud, they seem as if they needed a few extra seconds to explain what was happening. They may think that it is a job for the GNR, as it should be.
A man dressed in pink, with glasses, sitting on the front row, to the left of the screen, shows a look of being a bit lost.
A boy hurries to pick up the clothes left in the sand. The music plays.
From my Borstal.
