就在鬥牛賽中場時,他因良心苛責而情緒崩潰,當時正在激戰中,他忽然意識到,
是他自己不斷地去導引、挑動根本是天性溫和的牲畜來攻擊他，他其實就是這場比賽中，
貪婪狂熱且嗜戰的一方。
Torero說:這牛臉上的表情告訴我，這仗只是我自己要打的,即使它已先被其他鬥牛士刺傷
而痛苦,但他也沒有攻擊我
Torero Munera:然間，我從這公牛的眼底，看到和所有動物都一樣的純真與無辜，它看著
我對我懇求著，就像是對公義的哀號，深深地沉入我心底，當時我好比是一位告解者，
我意思是說當一個人坦白地忏悔了，是希望....他能獲得寬恕，我那時覺得自己真是
毫無價值，糟透了！」
牛在所有生靈中算是最溫馴的物種,他們對自己幼雛的關愛及溫柔照料是無其他動物能比
簡言之,我一點也不會不好意思來公告大眾,我對這群安祥動物深深的愛
-Thomas de Quincey
This incredible photo 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 become an avid opponent of
bull fights. (The look on this bull's face says it all for me.
Even grievously wounded by picadors, he 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. I felt like the worst shit on earth."
