...and some days the bear gets you. (Well, the bull in this case.)

Pics are graphic (not particularly gory unless you have a problem with a bloody bull) and absolutely shocking.

Reminds me of a line from Redneck Rampage (PC game) "Screw with the bull, ya git the horn".

I can just imagine what he was thinking at that moment: "So this is how I die."

That is the risk one takes when one gets close to a ton of raging, wounded ,blood spattered, taunted beyond endurance dangerous animal.

The Picadors ride out on horse back and fling spears into the Animal to cause it pain, get it roused and MAD as Hell.  Then some idiot armed with a red cape comes out and teases the animal until it attacks him.

Now I have nothing against this ancient tradition. Takes years of training before a man/woman can survive the ring.

Shades of the coliseum that pit man against wild animals or each other.

Don't they sometimes prove their bravery by kissing the bull on the head?  Or am I mixing that up with the snake charmers?

But the Romans cheered for the animals, not the Christians or whomever the unlucky "adversary" was.

From what I understand men volinteered to go into the ring and fight.  Some of these men became very wealthy and were the rock stars of that era.
