This is the terrifying moment a matador was gored in the rectum and tossed in the air like a ragdoll during a traditional bullfight in Spain last night.
Alejandro Conquero was reported to be in a 'serious' condition after sustaining horrific injuries during the event in Cenicientos, in the region of Madrid.
I'm not sure wht the 'Mail' describes it as 'shocking', I'd have thought it was an inevitable consequence of this...
Isn't one of the attractions of the bull fight the chance that the bull might win? If the result was a foregone conclusion nobody would pay to watch, would they? You might as well sell tickets to the local abattoir.
ReplyDeleteA man goes into a restaurant in Spain. He sees another diner enjoying two large meatballs and asks for the same. The waiter says they have no more but the man can reserve the dish for the next day. The next day the man is served with two very small meatballs and he complains. Sorry says the waiter but sometimes the bull wins.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, senor, the bull, he wins.

Penseivat
Unless this result was guaranteed, I could never consider being part of a paying audience to soak up depraved behaviour. However, here's an exception...although a few swords hanging out of his neck would have made for a far more satisfying finale.
ReplyDeletePenseivat, did KJP get in first? You both beat me to it.
ReplyDeleteLook on the bright side.
ReplyDeleteHe'll probably be able to shit five ways at once now.
The depraved behaviour is not the torture and kill. This happens every time an animal is slaughtered to provide us with food, leather, pet food, vellum, etc.
ReplyDeleteIt is that people pay to watch this.
Not unlike the "leaders" of "the West" who watch hundreds of thousands of Ukraine's finest get slaughtered, and then turn away to pour another malt and watch the next show when their brave gladiators are losing.
Meanwhile, what has Meagain been up to?

ReplyDeleteYou'd assume so! In the same way not all the crowd at F1 or Indycar are hoping the drivers all make it round safely...
"Penseivat, did KJP get in first? You both beat me to it."
I should have run a bet on who'd be first with that one! 😁
"He'll probably be able to shit five ways at once now."
I feel sorry for the surgeons!
"It is that people pay to watch this."
If the kill isn't to your liking, other cultures eschew that.
