How?

Apparently, this is a very exciting sport.

Is that spectator in the back reading a newspaper?

All of the other spectators are practicing their skills in making themselves invisible. Most of them succeeded.

It is indeed inhuman for the tortugeros, they have to spend hours in the same stance and often alot of them die of starvation before the turtle finally reaches their cloth. I believe there's already a petition to provide chairs for them.

Whilst starvation for the tortugeros, and cramp for the tortoises is a problem, the thing in it's favour is that neither human nor animal have ever been harmed in the sport. Sure, they've become a bit wound up, and grumpy, but a tortoise in a bad mood isn't a reason to ban, surely?

Well there were some ideas by the FIT for a rules change which involved the allowance of proper home theater systems to be installed inside the shells but some purists on the council are against the use of electronics.
