Spanish matador dies after being gored during bullfight.

[Cattledog]

No tears shed here!

A Spanish bullfighter died after he tripped in the ring and was gored by the bull in south-western France, according to media reports

Ivan Fandino, 36, was taken to hospital, but later died from his injuries, Spanish news agency EFE reported, citing sources close to the Basque matador’s entourage.

Fandino stumbled during a fight in Aire-sur-l’Adour on Saturday after he tripped on a cape used in a turn to engage and distract the specially bred fighting bull. The animal then pierced the matador’s torso with its horns, EFE said.

He is the second Spanish bullfighter to die in the ring in the past year. Victor Barrio was killed after being gored by a bull in front of spectators last July, the first time since the early 1990s a professional matador had died in the ring in Spain.

1. Well, when they came into the ring, either he or the bill would leave wounded or dead.

Normally, the bull leaves dead.

9. and unlike the matador

the bull didn't choose to be there.

4. from what I understand the bull almost never leaves alive unless he was an extremely

courageous bull, the poor animal is wounded in the very beginning by the picador, not a fair fight.

5. Bull - 1 Matador - Dead

Apparently the bulls have barely slightly better odds than the Washington Generals.

7. Sounds like the audience got what they came for!

Also, the bull's name translates to Burp, which is just excellent.

8. Meh. It's vile, barbaric torture disguised as a "sport."

I know I'm harsh, but the suffering those bulls endure is unimaginable. So, here's what I think:

11. Good.

12. I find bullfighting repulsive. It is testosterone gone unchecked and wallows in inhumanity.

Enough of this barbarism.

14. These people are going to have to come out of the dark, at last.

Wholesome, well-balanced, moral, sane men and women could never find anything good in torturing animals.

There are sporadic moments in which it appears bull fights will disappear. I wonder who keeps bringing it back. People whose businesses benefit from it?

Hope they all will spontaneously combust.
