Helen, Celine is an animal lover and would never harm or wish to see harm to animals. Sometimes, it is better to gently explain a reason for an opinion rather than shoot out a sarcastic or dry reply which can wound when you don't know the person behind.
I know you're a very special lady. Celine doesn't.
We sometimes forget how sharp posts can sound without the facial expression behind them.

I went to the bull running at Ceret once, in fact the first year we arrived, but never again. There were a lot of young lads (and some not so young) drinking, drinking, drinking, obviously in their eyes to get the testosterone going, then they ran with the bulls. One bull was brought down right in front of me and the look of fear in his eyes was awful. I walked away in tears never to return. The horse riders were very skillful with their bare back riding. At the end of the day its everyone to their own but its certainly not for me.

I think that anybody which wants to visit a corrida, listen this song.

This is from Francis Cabrell and he's / was the mayor of Agen.
Celine he can give you some words worth listening.

FACEBOOK THOUGHTS: Remember that old phrase: if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold.
Thank you Kate.
In all honesty I'm not one to judge others decisions, so forcefully to a person whom i do not know; like a couple of these comments. No one has any idea why I want to go or much about me. So I'll give a call to the tourist office, I know what to expect. I am sure some of my lifestyle choices wouldn't suit others but theirs wouldn't suit me.
in my opinion it doesn't make me a non animal lover, there are varying degrees of everything and various reasons one chooses to do things.
It doesn't need to be a debate as to the rights and wrongs, pros and cons, fors and againsts; that never works on a forum, it inevitably leaves people with the same opinion they started with but upset at the tone of others. I was purely asking a question for advice.

OK, Kate. Justly reprimanded. However I suggest Celine take a look on Google at the FLAC: Fédération des Luttes pour l'Abolition des Corridas.. I hope it'll discourage anyone from attending or photographing Hemingway's unhealthy passion.

Sorry, didn't mean to reprimand. I know how passionately you feel about this, as do many others, myself included.
Just know from experience that the forum is not the right platform for this kind of discussion as it always turns unpleasant, given that people have such strong opinions, can't actually see or hear each other, don't know each other......
This is just a small local forum to share advice, recommendation etc about the PO. I'm just not big or clever enough to manage and direct grand discussions on serious and emotive issues....and they do need directing or they degenerate into a match of one upmanship and insults.
