    Mess with the bull and you get the horns

    Matador gets Spain and suffering

    Mess with the bull, you get the horn!

    A day after dashing Spanish bullfighter Julio Aparicio showed his dominance by cutting the ears off two vanquished bulls, one of their bovine brothers got revenge yesterday by gruesomely impaling the matador through his throat and out his mouth.

    As Aparicio held his red cape and sword out to face down the 1,100-pound beast named Opiparo at the Feria de San Isidor bullfighting event in Las Ventanas, Spain, the bullfighter lost his footing and the bull was able to strike.

    "[The horn] went though the tongue and penetrated the roof of the mouth, fracturing the jawbone," one of the medics who worked on Aparicio told AFP news in Madrid.

    Good...Glad he got as bad as he did, only wish it was worse! How would you like to get taunted and have spears thrown into your back? Bull fighting is a barbaric and shameful "sport".
