“Cyril Connolly had a fantasy about owning a ganadería where he would train bulls to murder matadors. Lifesize models of toreros would be dotted around the ranch with the vital organs clearly marked. Bulls attacking these areas would receive extra food, thus setting up a conditioned reflex. ‘And in the unlikely event of any matador surviving long enough to go in for the kill,’ Cyril mused, ‘each of my bulls would have a cyanide capsule under its tongue, to cheat the executioner.’” (from Kenneth Tynan’s diaries)
