“Jesus You Are My Lord And My King featuring Lucy Stimpson- Maynard from the album Uplifted recorded and produced by Bob Ross.

I recently read a heart- warming story accompanied by today’s featured photo. The caption read “And suddenly, I looked at the bull. He had this innocence that all animals have in their eyes, and he looked at me with this pleading. It was like a cry for justice, deep down inside of me. I describe it as being like a prayer — because if one confesses, it is hoped, that one is forgiven. I felt like the worst person on earth.”
This photo shows the collapse of Torrero Alvaro Munera, as he realized in the middle of his last fight … the injustice to the animal. From that day forward he became an opponent of bullfights.”
There was something about the story that made me fact check it and sadly I found this:
A photo of a matador facing a bull has recently resurfaced and is presented as the exact moment that led Alvaro Munera to end his bullfighting career, upon realizing the cruelty of his sport. However, although Múnera did undergo such a conversion, this photograph doesn’t depict the instant of his change of heart, for a number of reasons:
Múnera didn’t undergo his epiphany against bullfighting in the middle of a bullfight; he stopped participating in that activity only when he was forced out of the ring for good after a goring permanently paralyzed him.
In a 2008 interview, Múnera expressed that his conversion to an anti-bullfighting animal rights defender did not occur at any one moment in the ring, but was part of an ongoing process that began before, and extended after, the accident that ended his career.
And to cap it all the photograph is not one of Múnera but of another bull fighter named Sanchez Vara.
Which all goes to show you don’t need AI to get conned.
How sad that because we live in a world of constant scams we now have to check if a heart- warming story is, in fact genuine.
