An award-winning bullfighter has been gored to death live in front of hundreds of terrified spectators - the first matador fatality in Spain this century.
Segovia bullfighter Víctor Barrio, 29, suffered a mortal blow during a tournament in the town of Teruel in Aragon, Eastern Spain.
The performer was rushed to hospital unconscious but doctors were unable to save his life.
He had rolled to the ground in a painful somersault after the bull caught him while he tried to attract the animal with a 'muletazo' manoeuvre, reports La Razon.es.
The bull caught him in the side, rammed him to the ground and gored him the chest.
The Maños bull, named Lorenzo, had reportedly been struggling but caught the showman off guard.
The matador met his match at the fesitval called Feria del Ángel, reports El Mundo.
The horrific goring was shown live on TV, and shocked viewers have uploaded footage of the scene on social media.

[Northern Monkey]

That bull will have a reputation now.They'll be **** scared to face it again.It'll be a badge of honour to go in with it.

[arista]

Absolutely no sympathy. Hope the poor bull wasn't put down.


It does not Work like that, sadly
The Bull can kill any of them
because he knows
at the end its a Evil Slow Death
by thin swords.


Tradition
Like we had Fox Hunting

Meh. "Man tries to fight bull. Dies."

Its Not ONE on ONE fighting

They trick it
Fight Dirty.


Like Rick Flair
used to stick a Finger in the Eye
to slow a Wrestler dowm

[Cal.]

Well that's that on that

[arista]

My god, fancy dying in that outfit.


For them
its Traditional

[Vicky.]

Oh, I didn't know the bull dies anyway regardless. ****ing fail :facepalm:

[smudgie]

He died doing his job, it's still seen as ok in Spain.
May he rest in peace and condolences to his family.

[arista]

Yes its what the Spanish Call Justice.

[MTVN]

Very sad as he was practising what is seen as an art in Spain and something that is deeply woven into their history and culture, of course no one in the UK would understand just as many in other countries find it incomprehensible that rural communities still place a lot of importance on fox hunting here

Yes but it was bound to happen
In America
the Animal Rights folks are Happy
that Fella Slipped and DIED

[Maru]

I think I read somewhere they almost always put down the animals afterward? Awful!

[arista]

Yes the all Stab it with thin Swords in the neck
until it drops
All Normal


Spain Is Spain


Easy Jet UK
doing Flights there for £29

[Ammi]

..a cruel and barbaric tradition but just awful for his loved ones and for those watching his death on TV as well...children I imagine would have been watching..:sad:...

They shouldn't do it then.

[Cherie]

Barbaric sport that has no place in 2016, many Spanish people no longer support it, awful for the guy and his family though

some do not like it.


Buts its like Boxing with no Gloves

[hijaxers]

This is not sport and how this disgusting spectacle is even allowed to be shown on tv is beyond me. It should be completely banned and f uck tradition.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Fox hunting does not often result in a death and at least the fox has a chance.


There is little to compare

[Livia]

Good.

[jaxie]

Loss of life is never a good thing but this is a cruel and barbaric sport where bulls are goaded and abused and cruelly put to death. Anyone getting in a ring to do that needs to get a clue. It's really time Spain put this to rest, it's not the kind of 'sport' that really belongs in a modern, civilised country.

Fox hunting is also a vile and cruel 'sport' that has no place in a modern, civilised country.

[kirklancaster]

Yes - It is still a tragedy for the Matador and hs family. I still can't help wishing though that, just sometimes, some of the foxes had the power to turn the tables on their human tormenters.

No its called their Culture

[Livia]

These people know what they're doing. They provoke and torture an animal almost to madness so they should expect it to turn on them once in a while. So forgive me if I don't weep too many tears for them. Or their family.

i am sure a few chickens would not agree

[Jake.]

I feel for the family of this person (his wife, parents, any kids he had etc) and I get that they see it as some sort of "art", but if you're going to play with fire then you're going to get burned. Another "tradition" which is simply mankind being cruel.

[Kazanne]

i am sure a few chickens would not agree

They'de be ok if humans built them adequate shelters.:hehe:

[AnnieK]

I read that as well as the bull who killed him being put to death, they will also kill it's mother to eradicate the Bulls bloodline. Another "tradition". Awful waste of 3 lives

[MTVN]

Its my understanding that bulls killed in the ring are always used for their meat afterwards. And those bulls that are used are seen as worthy adversaries so that they are often treated much better in their lives than those cattle who are bred purely for food

I absolutely agree that this is one of the risks involved in participating in bullfighting but to actually be pleased about the loss of a human life? That's another matter

[Dollface]

Good, it's about time the bulls got some revenge. Shame it hasn't happened to more "matadors" tbh.

[kirklancaster]

i am sure a few chickens would not agree

:laugh:I'm not going to say that this is a cheep remark, or cry fowl play, but Foxes are obeying hundreds of thousands of years of genetic instinct when they kill chickens; Matadors and Picadors are obeying nothing more than the abhorrent man made rules of an evil and needless 'sport' for man's gratification.

Absolutely Kirk, really well said.
A real hard hitting post that gets the true message across.
