Oh dear what a shame, never mind


Spain’s most charismatic and popular bullfighter, José Tomás, was put into intensive care in Mexico after being badly gored by a fighting bull in the town of Aguascalientes.

A half-tonne bull caught Tomas in his upper thigh and dug his horn deep by raising its head before flicking him up into the air. The horn had penetrated 15cm (6in) into the bullfighter's thigh, damaging veins and arteries and causing a huge loss of blood.

The newspaper El País said Tomás's injury was so serious that the bullring doctors who first operated on him did not have time to anaesthetise him.

No tears to be shed for Tomas. He went into the ring to torture and kill a bull. The bull managed to put paid to that idea. Serves the macho arsehole right

Totally, totally agree. And every spectator who cheers, claps hands and admires toreadors should also get a taste of what the animal suffers in those brutal attacks.

I just wonder how anyone who calls themselves civilised can enjoy this sport.
