Julio Aparicio, one of Spain's most famous matadors, was gored in the throat today during a bullfight. The horrific injury has left him in critical condition:

    "[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.

[UPDATE: After two operations, it appears leading surgeon Maximo Garcia Pedros has saved Aparicio's life. The bull, however, was quickly killed by other matadors.]

The incident took place during the Festival of Saint Isidro, considered to be the most important event in the bullfighting calendar, at the Plaza de Toros las Ventas bullring, which can seat up to 24,000 people.

Sorry but that dude gets no pity from me. This isn't flamenco or tango or some other innocent spanish cultural exercise. This is the brutal torture and slow execution of a defenseless animal that had no chance from the get-go and it's passed off as sport and a national pastime so quite frankly, F&%^ all matadors. Look at the word "matador".

Matar: spanish verb; to kill
Matador: spanish noun; killer

Well, "killer", as the old adage says; F%$* with the bull...

[AR!Ø]

Obviously not defenseless..

They are severely debilitated before a "match"

Aye, it still dead. I repeat: DEFENSELESS. It had ZERO chances for survival.

They should do it gladiator style, if the bull wins he earns his freedom from the slaughterhouse.
