Somehow not out of a horror movie, TeleMadrid, via Rick Chandler’s Out of Bounds has gruesome video and photos of bullfighter Julio Aparicio being gored yesterday in Spain.
Aparicio is still alive. Via web translation, TeleMadrid has the latest on his condition.
The right-hander Julio Aparicio has been transferred from the operating room of the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas to hospital October 12, where he will continue the operation she has undergone in the infirmary after being gored in the neck that has caused him injury very serious.
Aparicio lost his footing at a time of slaughter as a crutch, and trying to get up, the bull was after him, hitting him squarely in the neck, sticking above the spout and piercing nut and out the mouth.
The right-hander began to bleed profusely from his mouth as he was led by members of his gang to the infirmary, which is operated by the medical team that goes Maximo Garcia Padrós.
According to the first part facilitated by Dr. Maximo Garcia Padrós, Aparicio suffers a wound “in submandilar region with an upward trajectory that enters the oral cavity, tongue and reaches across the palate, leading to fracture of the upper jaw.”
The prognosis of the wounded, has been movement in an ambulance escorted by several municipal staff, is “very serious.” The hospital will undergo a scan to assess the extent of the fracture of the jaw.
If Aparicio survives, it appears the force of the bull pushing him backwards saved his life. When Aparicio was bowled over, the horn of the animal slipped out of his neck.
Forgive me, but watching Aparicio stagger off invoked visions of Gene Simmons from a late ’70s KISS concert.
While we’re all rooting for Aparicio to survive, can’t say the same for KISS.

I root heavily for the animals in these “sports” but this was too much even for me.

How’s that gag reflex?

Bullfighter’s bad day >> Tulsa motorcycle crash
11:55 pm on May 21st, 2010
The guy gored is an abuser of animals (for money and fame yet) and got what he deserved. If he did what he does to dogs the public reaction to his profession would be completely different. All arbitrary.

Bull 1, Asshole 0

Good for the bull. Fuck you, bullfighters–all of you. Karma’s a bitch, eh amigo?
6:09 am on May 22nd, 2010
Reminds me of the end of “Hot Fuzz.” Yeah, you know which scene I mean.
7:34 am on May 22nd, 2010
What’s with the cheap shot at KISS?
7:38 am on May 22nd, 2010
“While we’re all rooting for Aparicio to survive”
I’m not rooting for the dude to survive, I hope he suffers and dies.

Well, KISS blows. You didn’t get that memo? Mine is dated 1982.
8:34 am on May 22nd, 2010
bullfighting is disgusting and should be outlawed! the bull is protecting itself from this murderer!
8:39 am on May 22nd, 2010
i’m glad everyone is hating on the bull ‘fighter’. he fights nothing. he makes an animal suffer to the applause of several people that may soon be affected by the law in Arizona.
I’m not saying i hope he dies…but i’m glad he got what he got. that’s nature’s way of giving them the finger. don’t fuck with nature.
you mess with the bull, you get the …. well he knows. this had to be said.
8:40 am on May 22nd, 2010
mess with the bull…GET THE HORNS!
9:17 am on May 22nd, 2010

9:49 am on May 22nd, 2010
Good,thats what the fuck deserves.I am not a forgiving person when it comes to animals for “sport”.This mother fucker got exactly what he deserved.Bull 1 asshole 0!
11:03 am on May 22nd, 2010
Nice to see the bull got to play pinata with his head
Unfortunately it doesn’t happen often enough
11:58 am on May 22nd, 2010

4:11 pm on May 22nd, 2010
That is one of the most disturbing pictures ever put on here
4:32 pm on May 22nd, 2010
holy sh*t all of you guys are f***ing tools and ass holes hoping the guy dies, lets see you go through that f***ers and then i hope you die
4:55 pm on May 22nd, 2010
Adios Mio!! me and a bud ran with the bulls in Pamplona in 2006, San Fermin Festival, two mornings in a row, then went to the bullfight in the evening and watched the same bulls we ran with get slaughtered in an unfair fight in their ‘holy tradition’ of bull ‘fighting’…We made no friends because we were shouting for the bull to win the whole night!.
Even in this unfair fight the bull got one hell of a shot in, but he ended up on someone’s plate less than a few hours from this video, they kill them and hack them up in a butcher shop right on the grounds of the arena.
I always root for the bull now…
6:44 pm on May 22nd, 2010
this string of comments is a tidal wave of ignorance … the torero may die for our sins … like the christ whose body and blood we eat and drink … we are all in favor of dominating nature when our lives on on the line … its NOT a sport … its a tragedy.
7:35 pm on May 22nd, 2010
I’m not rooting for the guy to die, but how clear does this illustrate “You mess with the bull you get the horns?” Bullfighting is honestly akin to dogfighting as far as cruelty to animals… But beyond that, there’s the simple idea that I’m not going to cry for a guy who does something this stupid for a living. Unlike the bulls, this guy had a choice. And he chose to f*@k with a bull.
9:51 pm on May 22nd, 2010
The bastard got what he deserved. Does any body know whether the bull will now be spared?
12:12 am on May 23rd, 2010
Fuck Bull Fighting All BullFighters Will Get Fucked Eventually
9:35 am on May 23rd, 2010
To those trying to connect this to illegal immigration: You’re idiots. Spain and Mexico are as different as night and day. The Castellians mock and deride the Mexican “Spanish.” Is there even bull fighting in Mexico?
2:40 pm on May 23rd, 2010
Next time you shove a Bigmac in your blow holes think about how the cow died to feed your asses,is there any difference in a hydraulic spike to the head.Take a trip to a slaugterhouse you might be suprised.
7:22 pm on May 23rd, 2010
I have to admit the video was over the top. Some of the responses here on your site, prove to me that we have fallen a long way as a society.
I mean who pulls for someone to die? For all the animal lovers out there that pull for a human to die over an animal…get a LIFE!
9:52 pm on May 23rd, 2010
I cant stand Texas, so this will be my first and last time saying this. HOOK EM HORNS!!!!
12:07 am on May 24th, 2010
I like bullfighting. I like Hemmingway. I like honor. But this goes with the territory.
7:21 am on May 24th, 2010
Kill the bull. Lucky bull. But I bet he tasted good its awesome being top of food chain I think I’m gonna kill a cow and pig they sound good right now. Yum. Assholes hoping a man will die they are animals we a better if you have a problem go live with them and see if they show you mercy.
8:31 am on May 24th, 2010
I agree with the majority of posters. Much like Steve Irwin and those idiots Siegfried and Roy, I cheered when I heard this story. Go Bull, Go Animals!
1:02 pm on May 24th, 2010
Mess with the bull long enough your going to eventually get the horns.
2:29 pm on May 24th, 2010
I feel bad fir the bull. They guy is lucky the horn slipped out so easily he would of had his head torn off. I hope his injuries stop him from bill fighting.
2:50 pm on May 24th, 2010
I agree this guy is lucky and who really give a shit if he lives or dies? its just nice to see the bull get one every once in a while.
4:01 pm on May 24th, 2010
While I don’t hope the guy will die I also always pull for the bull here. I’m not a crazy animal rights person but I don’t see the enjoyment in trying a rope around a bull’s testicles and stabbing him with knives. Bulls are killed every day by food processing plants but nobody is filming the slaughter house as a sports arena. To answer your question Dr. Mike bullfighting is really big in Mexico. Its not as big as in Spain but Mexico is the 2nd largest bullfighting market in the world. And the idiots connecting this video to immigration are probably toothless hillbillies.
4:58 pm on May 25th, 2010
The spaniards are cowards they kill the bull with swords. You want to watch a bullfight go to Portugal where it’s illegal to kill the bull and we fight them with our bare hands…now that takes courage…and yes the bullfighters get spanked by the bull from time to time.
11:42 pm on June 5th, 2010
These people deserve every bit of pain they get.
11:44 pm on June 5th, 2010
@WOW Who’s the animal? This guy is. This is torture and he got what he deserved. There’s no honor in torturing an animal for spectacle.
11:24 am on July 6th, 2010
Now that Julio’s better, we’re having a little caption contest in his honor.

12:20 pm on July 22nd, 2010
All of you who are saying that the bullfighter deserved it because he is a murderer are all talking from a different cultural standpoint than the people who participate. At the same time you are bitching about their bullfighting they are laughing at your fat asses stuck to a chair all day. Get some common sense and learn to respect differences in culture, not everyone is going to be (or wants to be) just like you.
2:14 am on July 26th, 2010
People being glad that somebody else was nearly killed is very sad. I have seen a bull fight and to be honest I really dont get it, but what nobody seems to understand is that people have been fighting bulls in Spain since hundreds of years before there was even a United States.
Its bloodsport, plain and simple, but its strongly rooted in the culture of the country and none of us from the U.S. have any right to judge them. I am disgusted by the callous lack of compassion for another human being, saying things like what I have read above is much worse than killing bulls.
10:01 am on August 11th, 2010
the only good thing that comes of of this is when the matador gets what he deserves. The bull loses either way, but at least he gets one last shot at the bastards trying to kill them. Talk abaout civilised society. Its time Spain caught up and stop living like barbarians. Yes we eat meat but at least they are killed humanely and not made to suffer whilst some f’;098,i9 idiot prances around like a wally in stupid tights. If they like to dress up, go toa fancy dress ball , or learn ballet lesssons. and take up archery if they want to play soldiers !
