A famous matador gored by bull!

Poor things. Goaded even before they enter the ring. Very nasty business. Bully for the Bull!

Why is this even considered a form of entertainment? Just horrible

Good!

We were in Seville last week and were surprised to see posters for upcoming bullfights. I didn't think they still happened.

Hurrah!
Most blood sports have been banned in the UK but hunts continue to kill foxes for their entertainment and other disgustingly cruel ‘sports’ flourish out of sight. Hare coursing and dog fights are always done for betting. The police are not interested and the very rare prosecutions impose ludicrously small fines.

I think gloating over any violent death is unnecessary.

Maybe tell that to the many who gloat over the bloodthirsty death of the poor bulls. Matadors understand and accept the risks. Bulls don’t.

The matador wasn't killed.

I agree. Much as I loathe the very thought of bull fighting and any other blood sports, I was shocked by some of the above posts.

Don’t believe he died. Though of course he knew that was a possibility as he stepped into the ring.

As I said above, he didn't die.

Good 👍

Surely that's the risk they take though? I'll spare my sympathy for the poor bulls. They have no choice in the matter - the matadors do.

No sympathy for the Matador; serves him right.

Good do 👍🏻 cruel people!

Agree. Or even if he was just badly injured.

Is gloating over dead bulls ok?

The matador had a choice (and no doubt enjoyed the adulation).

Bull fighting is dreadful. But to see people saying good glad he got hurt is surprising and in my opinion unpleasant.

I’m not saying good. I am saying it’s hardly a surprise, is it?
Bloody awful practice. Matador has a choice. Bull doesn’t.

I don't agree with bull fighting and would never watch such a thing but neither could I enjoy and celebrate serious injury to anyone. It's a repugnant cruel practice but then enjoying serious physical injury to another human is also repugnant in my view.

I would t enjoy it, either. I certainly hope the matador in question reassesses now, though.
What a ridiculous way to earn a living.

I have just read about the matador injuries they made me shudder.
The injury is anal and he was given operation right away. He is still in a serious position. This is why I feel people saying good is revolting. This man's life will be changed forever. The psin will be severe.
