I don’t want to say that I have a favorite bull-goring-a-person photo, because it’s like picking a favorite from among your children; they’re all precious. Let’s just say that this one is taking a prominent spot in my collection. It happened at the Las Ventas bullring in Madrid, Spain, earlier today, as Spanish bullfighter Julio Aparicio gets ventilated through the mouth by a bull (name redacted) during the San Isidro Feria. All props to Getty/AFP photographer Alberto Simon for this image. Well done.
Sorry, but I do not know the current condition of matador, or bull. But at least one guy in Spain now knows what a trout feels like when it gets caught.
UPDATE: The bull worked this guy over pretty good. More photos, and video, following the jump.
In Spain, beef carve you.
UPDATE II: Aparicio remains hospitalized in serious condition, reports the Spanish daily El Pais, but there is no apparent brain damage.

YES! Someone who understands how disgustingly cruel and unfair this “sport” is! People whine about how that “poor” matador is in critical condition and may die (or maybe he already DID die?), but they don’t give a flying flock about the hundreds of bulls that are tortured to death in these arenas. I say GO BULLS!!!

Well he got what he deserved. Bull fighting is wicked, how would you like to die a slow death because someone is taunting you and stabbing swords in your back when you try to issue self defense??? The tables were turned and mankind got a taste of their own medicine… literally. Serves him right, hopefully he has learned a valuable lesson from this.

Why is it when the Matador wins they cut off the bulls ears and tail while it’s still alive and award it to him, but yet when the bull wins they don’t award it with the Matador’s ears ? Bullfighters are the biggest cowards ever !!!!!
First they deny the bull water and food and give it laxatives to make sure it’s in top “dehydrated” fighting form. Then they need a whole gang with multiple weapons, and barricades to hide behind because they are to chicken shit to fight the bull 1 on 1.
Let us pray… Dear God, please release the worlds deadliest prisoners for 1 day, so they can go find and ass rape all the bullfighters of the world, that way when they are bleeding out their asses, they will know what it is like to bleed to death. AMEN
