A pissed-off bull got the best of Spanish matador Julio Aparicio when the mauled animal retaliated with a horrific goring to the matador causing serious injuries. EXTREMELY GRAPHIC VIDEO:

As seen in the graphic video, the bull’s horn enters the matador’s neck/throat area and exits through his mouth. Aparicio somehow survived and is recovering in hospital in Madrid where the injuries took place.

What could make an animal become so violent? Here is a detailed analysis of how these bulls are prepped and abused prior to these ‘events’.

You have to wonder if this video has made it’s way around and may be affecting some of the other matadors.

In Mexico City this week, a bull charged matador Christian Hernandez who suddenly had second thoughts about taking on the animal and just as the match started, ran for the nearest wall, leaped over it and was later fined for ‘breach of contract’. Pussy!
