Spanish bullfighter Garcia Navarrete is gored by a bull during a bullfight at Las Ventas bullring in Madrid, Spain EPA

A matador has suffered horrific injuries after being gored through his throat, face and tongue during his debut bull fight.
Daniel García Navarrete was pierced multiple times by a 1,000lb bull in Spain's infamous bullring, Las Ventas, in Madrid.
The attack was witnessed by a 10,000-strong audience who screamed when they realised the 23-year-old was in trouble.

Bullfighter gored through the throat during first bullfight

Staff rushed to distract the bull after Mr Navarrete was thrown into the air and repeatedly gored by the animal's horns.
It was initially thought the bull had only wounded the matador once, but after he was rushed to hospital it emerged he had been pierced four times, twice through his neck and twice through his jaw. He also sustained a fractured collarbone and severe nerve and muscle damage.

Surgeons at the Hospital San Francisco of Assisi, where Mr Navarrete was taken, described his condition as "severe".
Bull fighting has existed in Spain since at least Roman times and is run by the country's Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport.

No official figures of how many are injured during the fights are recorded, although there have been a number of high-profile gorings in recent months.
In March, Juan Jose Padilla, a one-eyed matador who has been injured by bulls some 40 times, was once again gored by one of the animals.

I hope the poor bull is ok. As for the matador, he deserves to die.

Like Fox hunting and any other so called sport that involves the use of animals as a play thing for the masses to adore.
It is a sick so called sport and should be banned.
Good on the bull for giving him one, or two.
