When cows fight back...

From mute cattle to mute * torero’s *- sometimes shoving sharp spikes in large animals doesn’t end well for the person on the other end of the spear.

The pictures in this (UK) article* appeared in a number of Spanish newspapers over the weekend - dude’s alive but unlikely to make it as an opera singer.

To be honest I say well done Mr Cow - if a chap in tight trousers was poking me with bit of metal I rather think I’d be inclined to react in the same way.

*reasonably shocking image although no gore or blood.

I view this type of thing as a sort of institutionalized Darwin Award. You mess with the bull, what do you get?

That’s gonna leave a mark.

That’s a wound.

What, no vid? Youtube to the rescue!

Go bull!

Matadors: 10,000,000
Bulls: 1

It’s a start!

I thought the guy was being so casual he was smoking a cigar.

Somebody’s gotta say it. Cows with guns.

Are we looking at the same pic? It sure looked like a gore to me.

Nice shot. That bull should have been given the ears.

I’m pretty sure he got the tongue.

Well it will just make the Toreador? Matador? whoever look even more Macho after this.
Dark eyed Senorita:where did you get that magnificent scar?
Matador: Fighting the ferocious bull
S: oooohhhh
M: It is nothing
I don’t get how this is a sport but, not gonna argue about it here

More like:

Dark eyed Senorita: where did you get that magnificent scar?
Matador: Mmmgmgglmph

Funny you should say that:

That’s taking one on the chin!

Maybe he’ll now be the strong, silent type.

I imagine no more “keep your chin up!” advice from whoever coaches matadors.

Ok, I’m done.

Thanks for that. I was about to go nuclear, which wouldn’t have been appropriate.

It’s not a sport. In Spain, bullfights are reported in the Arts section of their newspapers.

Bulls: 2, actually.

Go Bulls! I also root for the bulls when they do that running thing. That bull ain’t bothering anybody, dude picks a fight with it, bull kicks his ass. I like it.
