Spanish matador Julio Aparicio needed two operations after he was
horrifically gored through the throat during a bullfight in Madrid.
The half-ton bull, called Opiparo, struck after Julio Aparicio lost
his footing and stumbled while carrying out a pass with is red cape in
a packed Las Ventas bullring.
One of the animal's horns tore into his throat and punched through the
bottom of his mouth as the crowd screamed in horror at the bullfight
last night.

Impaled: Spanish bullfighter Julio Aparicio is gored through the
throat during a packed bullfight at Las Ventas in Madrid
The force of the impact lifted the matador into the air, puncturing
his tongue and fracturing his jawbone, before the bull threw him to
the sand.
Fellow matadors dashed to the rescue and managed to distract the bull
so medics could get to Mr Aparicio.
The 41-year-old managed to struggle to his feet, but collapsed with
blood pouring down his neck and had to be carried from the ring.
He had an emergency one-hour operation in the Las Ventas medical
centre, before being transfered to the October 12 Hospital in Madrid,
where doctors performed an emergency tracheotomy and worked to
reconstruct his jaw, tongue and the roof of his mouth during a six-
hour operation.

Critical: The torero was lifted off the ground by the force of the
bull's impact before being hurled to the sand floor

Shocked: Mr Aparicio had to have two emergency operations to install a
tracheotomy and reconstruct his jaw and the roof of his mouth
A spokesman for the hospital said: 'He remains in the intensive care
unit of the hospital, has regained consciousness and his vital signs
are stable.'
His father, also called Julio Aparicio, said there were no
complications during the surgery.
He said: 'It was a serious goring. Almost his entire mouth was
destroyed.
'It's too early to talk of recovery, we must wait and see.'
The injury happened as Mr Aparicio was attempting the faena, a series
of passes in which he uses his cape and sword before delivering the
death blow - or estocada.
It is not known what has happened to the bull.

Horrific: The bullfighter loses his footing and slips to the sandy
floor before the half-ton bull gores him through the throat
Mr Aparicio, from Seville, comes from a well-known family of matadors.
He is in a grave condition in hospital.
Evening bullfights are watched by sell-out crowds at the 25,000 seat
Las Ventas bullring and are broadcast live on cable television.
Six bulls are killed in each bullfight.

Bah. The only horrific aspect to any of this is that bullfighting is allowed
in any allegedly civilized country. I feel, I guess, some sympathy for the
matador's family, but the matador himself got no more than he richly deserved.

I hope the bull is allowed the honours of the Victor.

Gee, I hate to imagine what you think the slaughter-house employee -
who kills several hundred animals every day- "richly deserves".

(Notes for PETA members and other easily-outraged souls: 1.) The bulls
killed in bullfights are butchered and the meat is generally given to
charitable organizations such as orphanages; places that would seldom
see any meat at all otherwise. 2.) Let's say you're a bull, shall we?
Would you like a chance to take one of those funny-looking guys in the
tight suits along with you when you go, or would you prefer to be hit
between the eyes with a sledge hammer or electrocuted without warning?)

you get a longer life as fighting bull and you may
get reprieved and put out to stud if you do unusually well!
