Portuguese-style bullfights
August 15, 2013 - Reguengos de Monzaraz, Portugal: A suitcase belonging to one of the forcados contains religious cards and a rosary. Forcados are extremely religious. The forcados, Portuguese-style bullfighters, are eight men who challenge the bull directly, without protection or weapon. They form a line facing the bull and the caras (front man) eggs the bull on by "playing" with it and taking steps forward provoking him into a charge to perform a pega de cara (face catch), and once the bull runs forward the first forcado times his jump onto the bull's head and holds onto it, usually around its neck. Then, six forcados jump upon the bull piling upon themselves and grabbing the bull while one forcado grabs the bull by its tail. The objective is to subdue the bull. The forcado who grabbed the bull by the tail (rabejador) is the last one to release the bull after it is subdued. Bull's horns are covered with a protection of leather to prevent it from injuring forcados. The bull is not killed in the arena and, at the end of the corrida, it is led back to its pen, then is usually killed, away from the audience, by a professional butcher. Some bulls, after an exceptional performance, are released to pasture for breeding. Forcados were usually people from lower classes who, to this day, practice their art through amateur associations. They are sometimes called the "suicide squad." (Eduardo Leal/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)
