I have mixed feelings for bullfighting. Sure it is a test of skill and courage but I am against cruelty to animals and what they go through is surely cruel! Here we see the bull get's his revenge.



Julio Aparicio gored in throat during bullfight

Julio Aparicio, one of Spain's most famous matadors, was gored in the throat today during a bullfight. The horrific injury has left him in critical condition:

The horn went though the tongue and penetrated the roof of the mouth, fracturing the jawbone," one of the medics who worked on Aparicio told AFP news in Madrid.

The incident took place during the Festival of Saint Isidro, considered to be the most important event in the bullfighting calendar, at the Plaza de Toros las Ventas bullring, which can seat up to 24,000 people.
