Michelto Lagravere's bull-fighting career began at the tender age of six. It's no wonder that now at the age of eleven, he is already considered a veteran matador.
Michelto, whose real name is Michel Lagravere Peniche, has to-date claimed the lives of many young calves and recently managed to conquer six calves at a single bull fight held in Merida, Mexico.
Having grown around bull fighting rings, the young boy is not scared when in the ring with a bull, and just focuses on getting the job done.
While his parents are very proud of him and Michelto has a lot of fans, there are others that are a little concerned because he is so young and because bull fighting is such a dangerous and cruel sport. In fact, Michelto is not allowed to fight in Spain, the birthplace of the sport, where the minimum age for bull fighters is 16. He therefore performs only in Mexico and other Latin American countries, which have no minimum age requirements.
Let's keep our fingers crossed that no harm comes to this handsome young boy who is obviously enjoying being a matador.
