Madrid. – The bull killer Emilio de Justo has given a talk to 64 children understood to be between 4 and 5 years of age in of the Center of Infantile Education of Joaquín Ballesteros de Moraleja (close to Madrid) . The bull killer told the children of his beginnings in bullfighting and how he developed a love for it when he was just an adolescent. He even took to the school his ‘suit of lights’ and some of the instruments of torture, such as swords and matador’s sticks.
The children then were then encouraged to fabricate cardboard matador’s caps by those who organised this shameful talk. The school organized, throughout the whole trimester, many other such types of un-edifying activities as a visit to a bullfighting museum. It is intolerable and shameful that a centre of education devotes itself to trying to instil in small children such cruelty, instead of teaching them the really important values of love and the respect towards animals.
