Jamie Oliver apologises after being accused of backing bullfighting There's a little museum inside where you can buy really great limited edition bullfighting prints and books. If you're new to the culture of bullfighting, like I was, it's a great way to get a basic understanding of it. Some of the local kids take matador classes so if you're lucky, you might get to see these guys in action. In the past week there has been an angry backlash over the guide, on the chef's Facebook page, the Daily Mirror reported. One fan said: "You should be ashamed." Another commented: "Jamie, I have always enjoyed your programmes and all the good you have tried to do but surely you must realise the savage brutality involved in bullfighting, not to mention other Spanish activities involving animals. Why then are you doing your best to encourage it? A third wrote: "Nice food - shame about you supporting bullfighting." Yesterday a message on the page from Oliver's team said: "We've been responding to many emails and posts individually as a number of people have brought up specific points which we have answered. Once again, Jamie does not condone bullfighting and we hope this clarifies the situation and apologise to anyone offended.
