Outrage as bullfighter shares photo of him taunting bull while carrying his baby

A bullfighter has sparked outrage after he posted
a picture showing him taunting a bull with a red
cape while holding his baby daughter under his
arm.
Francisco Rivera posted the picture on Instagram,
on which he has 53,000 followers, showing him
with his five-month-old baby just inches away
from the bleeding and enraged animal.
The renowned bullfighter, aged 42, nearly lost his
life last year when he was gored by one of the
animals in Huesca, Spain.
He says his daughter, Carmen, is the fifth
generation of fighters in his family and he was
"goaded" both by his grandfather and father to
continue a "tradition".


He said he had also been held by his father while
he was fighting a bull in a similar way.
He wrote:
"Living history is repeated. "It's living the
best legacy, feeling, purity, honour."
Animal campaigners are incensed by the move
and say the pictures have offended many people
as what he did was "irresponsible".
Others have accused him of endangering the life
of his child.
The animal rights party, PACMA said: "Shame!
Fran Rivera fights with his daughter in his arms.
"It's totally contrary to education about the
respect of animals."
One Twitter follower said: "I am speechless!"
whilst another commented: "Poor Carmen!"
In just 13 hours after the picture was posted, it
received more than 130 comments but not all
were derogatory.
One said: "Lovely picture to remember" whilst
another tweeted: "Ole ole ole. "What a great
image to lavish upon us."
