SPAIN’S most famous female matador has resurrected her cape and suit of lights to raise money for charity.
Cristina Sanchez, became a household name in the early nineties, daring to go into a ring where no woman had gone before, subsequently triumphing as a fully fledged matador in Madrid in May 1996.
Now, after a 17-year-long break, she has slain her 317th bull, for the benefit of Niño Jesus Hospital, in Madrid, with the funds going towards childhood cancer research.
The 44-year-old fought the bull, gracefully, being honoured with two ears at the end of the fight, as is the tradition.
Cristina, from Madrid, has two teenage sons and a husband, Antonio.
Animal cruelty and self-destructive behavior is apparently gender neutral.
Disgusting.
Torturing bulls for The Baby Jesus Hospital? Wonder what the adult Jesus would have thought of that?
Not a lot I’d guess. Silly woman.
Daring to go into a ring where no woman had gone before….!!!!!!!……..Discusting barbaric cowardice female slaughtering tired and weakened animals……whats daring about that….she is no better than the TURD on my shoe…!!
Apparently, we advance in gender equality to include animal cruelty and risky behavior.
You really believe the two conflate chas?
Irony
Beautiful . Truly inspiring.
