A Spanish troupe of dwarf bullfighters have taken their act to France after their home country banned such shows on the grounds that they encouraged mockery of disabled people.
Thursday night’s show by the troupe, the ‘Diversiones en el Ruedo (‘Bullfighting Fun’), sold out at the 650-seat arena at Tethieu, a village of 850 near the Spanish border.
Unlike regular bullfights, the performance did not result in injuries or death for the participating animals.
