http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worl...bullfight.html Matador escapes death by the skin of his teeth after horrific goring in Madrid bullfight By MAIL FOREIGN SERVICE Last updated at 6:18 PM on 22nd May 2010 Comments (0) Add to My Stories WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT Spanish matador Julio Aparicio needed two operations after he was horrifically gored through the throat during a bullfight in Madrid. The half-ton bull, called Opiparo, struck after Julio Aparicio lost his footing and stumbled while carrying out a pass with is red cape in a packed Las Ventas bullring. One of the animal's horns tore into his throat and punched through the bottom of his mouth as the crowd screamed in horror at the bullfight last night. Impaled: Spanish bullfighter Julio Aparicio is gored through the throat during a packed bullfight at Las Ventas in Madrid The force of the impact lifted the matador into the air, puncturing his tongue and fracturing his jawbone, before the bull threw him to the sand. Fellow matadors dashed to the rescue and managed to distract the bull so medics could get to Mr Aparicio. The 41-year-old managed to struggle to his feet, but collapsed with blood pouring down his neck and had to be carried from the ring. He had an emergency one-hour operation in the Las Ventas medical centre, before being transfered to the October 12 Hospital in Madrid, where doctors performed an emergency tracheotomy and worked to reconstruct his jaw, tongue and the roof of his mouth during a six- hour operation. Critical: The torero was lifted off the ground by the force of the bull's impact before being hurled to the sand floor Shocked: Mr Aparicio had to have two emergency operations to install a tracheotomy and reconstruct his jaw and the roof of his mouth A spokesman for the hospital said: 'He remains in the intensive care unit of the hospital, has regained consciousness and his vital signs are stable.' His father, also called Julio Aparicio, said there were no complications during the surgery. He said: 'It was a serious goring. Almost his entire mouth was destroyed. 'It's too early to talk of recovery, we must wait and see.' The injury happened as Mr Aparicio was attempting the faena, a series of passes in which he uses his cape and sword before delivering the death blow - or estocada. It is not known what has happened to the bull. Horrific: The bullfighter loses his footing and slips to the sandy floor before the half-ton bull gores him through the throat Mr Aparicio, from Seville, comes from a well-known family of matadors. He is in a grave condition in hospital. Evening bullfights are watched by sell-out crowds at the 25,000 seat Las Ventas bullring and are broadcast live on cable television. Six bulls are killed in each bullfight. Read mo http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worl...#ixzz0ogWgrygb |

Gee, I hate to imagine what you think the slaughter-house employee - who kills several hundred animals every day- "richly deserves". (Notes for PETA members and other easily-outraged souls: 1.) The bulls killed in bullfights are butchered and the meat is generally given to charitable organizations such as orphanages; places that would seldom see any meat at all otherwise. 2.) Let's say you're a bull, shall we? Would you like a chance to take one of those funny-looking guys in the tight suits along with you when you go, or would you prefer to be hit between the eyes with a sledge hammer or electrocuted without warning?) |

This is correct. It is quite rare though. This honour is bestowed on the bull by the crowd or the matador if they feel the bull has fought well. The bull is patched up and retired from the ring and can, indeed, be put out to stud. I have seen bullfighting on TV during my many visits to areas of the Europe where it has been broadcast. The first time I watched it was through curiosity and I did so with a little trepidation. I was surprised, however, that I was more caught up with the spectacle of the event itself rather than repulsed by the blood thirsty nature of it. MC |

Reminds me of the story about a restaurant across from the bull ring. The specialty on the menu is, bull's balls. When a patron complained that his portion was unusually small the waiter replied."el toro no siempre pierden." -- Peter |

Maybe if your country wasnt so backass 3rd world, where all they know to do is to FU^k 24 hours per day and pop out babies, maybe they wouldnt need so many orphanages. Also, how many young children do you know are able to eat steak?
