Even ignoring the animal cruelty issue, they _did_ literally, purposefully provoke the bull into attacking, so if the bull actually succeeds the results are on them.

The version I’ve seen before ends in “El Toro, he does not always lose.”

Hmm, googling your version seems more common these days.

It all stemmed from a conflict ten year prior when the big game hunter cut in front of the elephant’s as they waited to ride the Haunted Mansion at Disney in Florida. As you know, elephants don’t forget.

But, seriously. Elephants, this is for you. If I’ve ever done something to piss you off please accept my apology now.
