Sheriff to protect bloodless bullfights


Wednesday, September 30, 2009 6:08 AM PDT

San Joaquin County has contracted with Our Lady of Fatima Society to provide sheriff's protection during bullfights scheduled for Oct. 17 and 19, a Saturday afternoon and Monday night.

The so-called "bloodless bullfighting" will be held in conjunction with the society's annual Portuguese Festival that weekend in Thornton.

Our Lady of Fatima will pay the sheriff's office an estimated $3,851 for 36 hours of protection by two deputies and a sergeant each of the two days.

The agreement was approved Tuesday by the Board of Supervisors.
