I would have liked to have titled this blog "Bull: 1, Matador: 0," but unfortunately, in the world of bullfighting torturing, even when the bull wins, he loses. Even though he clearly won this "fight," the bull in the below video was reportedly killed by other matadors after running a horn through one bullfighter's throat.

Warning: Graphic video below.

You can see still photos on The Huffington Post.

The matador, Julio Aparicio, was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but is expected to recover. Wish we could say the same for the bull.

Let this serve as a reminder: Never book a trip to Spain that includes tickets to a bullfight. Better yet, don't book a trip to Spain at all until it abolishes this abomination (unless you plan to participate in an anti-bullfighting protest, of course).

I can't believe that anyone would waste precious time or money on a memoir about a bullfighter's lifelong abuse and slaughter of bulls.

That said, 67-year-old British matador Frank Evans somehow managed to find a publisher for his book, The Last British Bullfighter,* but he just lost out on a big promotion by U.K. bookstore chain Waterstone's.

Waterstone's scrapped its plans to promote Evans' book, thanks to a flood of complaints from PETA Europe and other animal protection groups.

I also can't believe that this elderly man, who's had a quadruple bypass and knee replacement, has come out of retirement to torment bulls again (sad news, which Blog Guy at "Oddly Enough" managed to make amusing).

Frank, if you're out there: Enough bull already! Lay down the damn sword, pick up a metal detector, and stroll off into the sunset.

Now.
