...longer in Spain than it does in the U.S. During the bullfight itself, which usually lasts about 15 minutes, the bull is lanced, barbed, and eventually stabbed between the shoulder blades. Usually the kills are quick and clean. The first one that I saw was not; the bull vomited blood for a good five minutes before dying. Once dead, the bull is slaughtered and eaten...

True to form, she refused to stay silent and eventually wrote an op-ed in The Crimson about her experience.

Yade noted the Libyan regime's maintenance of police state to repress suspected political opposition left her decidedly "not happy about this visit" - one that begins, she pointed out "on International Human Rights Day". She wasn't the only one to protest Sarkozy's decision to host Gaddafi...
