Description
Nine-year-old Cesar Paredes enters the bullring impeccably dressed in his typical "campero" suit, pink cape neatly folded over one arm. He may be small, but he has big dreams of becoming a matador.
Paredes is one of 17 children aged six to 14 -- one of them a girl -- learning the tricks of the bullfighting trade at a torero school in Merida, a city in the Venezuelan Andes where the tradition persists despite protests of animal anti-cruelty campaigners. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
