The man admired by many Spaniards as the finest bullfighter ever seen is recovering in hospital after being gored by a bull during his comeback from retirement.
José Antonio Morante, more commonly known by his matador’s moniker Morante de la Puebla, suffered the injury on Sunday, while bullfighting in Seville. Video footage showed him being lifted off his feet as the bull’s horn punctured his buttock, before colleagues drew the animal away from him by distracting it with their capes.
After initially being in a very serious condition with the 10-centimetre wound, which perforated his rectum, Morante is now recovering.
Heck yeah. Go bull!
I always root for the bull.
If the bull wins it should get to retire.
Fuck that. It should level up and get to pick improved armor and weapons and then go back to gore more asshole matadors.
New pixelated roguelike indie game?
then go back to gore more [matador assholes].

How’s the bull?
very serious condition with the 10-centimetre wound, which perforated his rectum,
I assume proud. He should be.
The bull will have to be proud from the afterlife, since killing them is the whole point of the performance. But you’re right, he absolutely should be proud, good aim. And since he’s taken down the supposed “finest bullfighter ever”, we can recognize and remember this bull as the now undisputed champion of bullfighting, and the actual finest bullfighter ever. Let him be an inspiration to all future bulls fighting in this deplorable sport. Even though the bulls never win, I will celebrate their efforts to make as many humans lose as possible.
IIRC bulls who win their fights are studded out to breeders. Bulls who lose are available at the concession stand.
Unfortunately not quite that straightforward. Bulls that win usually still die from their wounds. If they survive, and if the matador believes the bull showed exceptional skill, they can be “spared” and are returned to the owners with a prize (though this is extremely rare)
I think this bull showed exceptional skill.
When you kill animals for sport, you can’t be upset when the other team shows up.
I’ve been giving Spain too much credit lately, but I forgot that this shit is still legal. Barbaric traditions from the past should stay in the past.
Yes but most people absolutely hate it. And some parts of Spain forbid it already.
This brings me joy. I hope the bull is alright.
So soon after a millionaire was stomped into paste by elephants?
I think things are actually getting better.
My favorite is still the killer whales capsizing rich people’s sailboats. Although that would have been even better if the orcas had eaten the free snacks.
Nature is healing
That reminds me of the old expression “a sucking chest wound is Nature’s Way of telling you you’ve been in a firefight.” I think Sun Tzu said that but I’m not sure.
Harambe has risen.
Nature is healing.
“Healing”
Oh no is the bull ok
Good job bull
I’m glad that my community in Spain doesn’t permit this animal abuse anymore.
When u just know it’s gonna need more than a band-aid
Cheers. Hoping he has lasting injuries and has trouble walking until his final days. Animal cruelty isn’t cool.
He’s gonna have anal seepage for the rest of his life. Gonna have to wipe multiple times a day, even when he hasn’t pooped. It’s gonna itch insanely all the time. And if he doesn’t keep up on wiping, it’ll chafe like hell for a few days.
Have you been reading my diary!?
No, I’ve been wiping my butt five times a day since I was 15.
No sweat off my back, I tell you what.
In Spain these guys will actually kill the bull in the Arena (hence the name “matador” - literally “killer”), so this is only fair.
PS: Mind you, not that “just” the part of torturing of the bull (the only part done in Portugal) is much better.
Don’t you think?
