In the ancient streets of Tlaxcala, Mexico, a 29-year-old man lost his life this week when twenty-one bulls were released during the Huamantlada, the world's largest open-road bullfighting festival. Nine others were injured in the chaos that followed. The event, woven deep into Mexican cultural identity, now faces the enduring human question of where tradition ends and recklessness begins — a question that no fatality ever fully answers, but none can leave unanswered.
