Thread: Matador gored through throat

These guys are heroes in Spain and Mexico for torturing animals to death for entertainment. Did he get what he deserved?

brutal. he's lucky that bull's horn came out soon after. kinda neat. I hope he pulls through, but difficult to feel particularly bad for him. what else is the bull supposed to do what do you think dzone?

Ive seen this picture before. Did it just happen?

1 for the bulls.

I guess the guy recovered and was back to killing bulls 3 weeks later. This was on the front cover of ESPN Magazine about 2 weeks ago. He got what he deserved and is lucky that horn didnt go through his brain. With Those ghey looking peter pan outfits, they should be shot for dressing so ridiculous..LOL

It's a brutal and controversial sport. Can't say what I think of the sport itself.
Just never thought it through, I guess. But what happened to the matador is
like the race driver who wipes out: It goes with the territory . . .

when i first read the title, i thought it said "moderator gored through throat"-- i figured NTL musta finally screwed over the wrong guy on a policy. . . .

it's really a pretty freakish way the guy was gored. I'm waiting for a coworker to come down here to show it to him.

It's a wonder he could get up and walk after that..dude is lucky it didn't
go through his jugular.

Pretty amazing to see though.

I don't quite get the killing of the bull. The guy lost his footing and they are begging and dodging exactly what he got. How does the bull deserve death for doing exactly what he is supposed to do.

That would be the bull's fate, anyway . . . *shrugs*

I was just now reading a little on bull fighting...goes back a long long ways...it's part of their culture and while it may not make sense to some...they consider it a sport..and in Portugal the bulls aren't killed during the fight but are slaughtered afterwards cause they can only be used one time for fighting...one site says spears are placed in it to weaken it during the fight.

Pretty brutal for both the bull and the fighter.

...But mainly just the bull.

I wish zam were here to tell us his bullfighting story.

Most of the times...probably.. but I bet there's been several incidents where the bull got the best of the fighter.
