too bad it didnt kill him
While I feel saddened by the Bull Fighter’s injuries, I feel enraged at people who make a living by the sport of cutting a bulls ears.
Accident? HAH! Let the “matadors” take on a REAL non-adjusted bull. Fat chance. This is simple animal torture.
Now that Julio’s better, we’re having a little caption contest in his honor.
