Kid Bullfighter in Mexico
A child matador has killed six young bulls in a fight that child and animal protection campaigners tried to stop.
Michelito Lagravere, 11, was allowed to take part in the event after a court in south east Mexico rejected a bid to halt it."I'm happy to have achieved this great victory," he said before leaving the bloodied bull ring in Merida.
A judge gave the go-ahead for him to fight the six calves, aged one or two years, after reviewing licenses and permits submitted by his father, former French bullfighter Michel Lagravere."We produced all the authorisations and guarantees we were following the rules, including the essential agreement from the National Association of Matadors," said Mr Lagravere."Michelito has fought bulls since he was six years old and he's never had a serious accident."Around 3,500 people, including many young children, gathered at the ring to witness Michelito in action.
A video of the fight will be sent to Guinness World Records for consideration - for the number of bulls killed and the age of the bullfighter. News via

What a drink...!! Snake Wine
Snake wine is an alcoholic beverage that includes a whole venomous snake in the bottle. It originated in Vietnam and can be found around Southeast Asia. The snakes, preferably venomous ones, are usually not preserved for their meat. They are preserved to have the snake poison dissolved in the liquor. However, because snake venom is protein-based, they are unfolded and therefore inactivated due to the influence of the denaturing effects of ethanol.
A large venomous snake can be placed into a glass jar of rice wine, often with many smaller snakes, turtles, insects, or birds, and left to steep for many months. The wine is drunk as a restorative in small shots or cups
Body fluids of snake are mixed into wine and consumed immediately in the form of a shot. Snake blood wine is prepared by slicing a snake along its belly and draining its blood into a mixing vat with rice wine or grain alcohol. Snake bile wine is done through a similar method by using the contents of the gall bladder. Snake meat, liver, and skin can be prepared to accompany the drinks
