Seville, Spain – Early last week, the tables were turned on a 46-year-old Spanish matador popularly known as the “King of Bullfighters.” Morante de la Puebla was in the bullfighting ring in Seville when a bull gored him in the bum, ending the match and sending Puebla to the hospital with an injury that caused him “immense pain.”
As reported by the New York Post, the injury sent the matador into hours of extensive surgery to repair the damage to his rectal wall and sphincter. The injury and pain have left Puebla with little to no appetite, and he has been receiving nutrition through an IV catheter.
The incident is a stark reminder of the inherent risks in bullfighting. A tradition long defended as culture, but one that continues to raise serious questions about both human safety and animal welfare. The incident underscores the violent nature of a spectacle where animals are routinely pushed to their limits…often with fatal consequences.

This tradition is outdated and disgusting. I’m not sorry that happened to the matador. Slow, torturous death for the bulls. Spain needs to end this right away.
I am glad this bill severely injured this cruel bullfighter. Spain needs to grow up and see what countries where bullfighting is not allowed or has been stopped know. These bulls have every disadvantage before these pathetic cruel fights. What parent takes children to these bloodbaths where an innocent animal slowly and painfully bleeds to death. It’s time the tables were turned. Too bad this man wasnt gored to death!
It’s unfortunate that he missed this skull or heart. Then again, hard to aim for a brainless and heartless F*cker!
Good, I’m very pleased to hear this. It’s about time This person got a taste if what he’s putting tgese animals through – he deserves it, they don’t!!!
Too bad the bull just didn’t kill him. It’s a barbaric activity that should be ended regardless of the history it has in that culture. It just shows that the culture is sick.
Karma at one of her finest moments! And I say, good job bull!
KARMA got him in the end — LITERALLY!!
Good!! Shame on Spain for promoting animal cruelty!! I’m sure this bullfighter will never enter the ring again!!
I agree Karma found him!!! Great job to that bull!! spain should be ashamed of themselves to continue bull fighting!!!
Good, bet they killed the poor bull right after. Shame to Spain.
