VIDEO: Man Gored To Death In Latest Totally, Completely Unforeseeable Bullfighting Fatality
21 August 2009, 12:37 PM. By Chris Alonzo
Sincelejo, Columbia hosts the largest Correleja in the country, a six day festival of drunken debauchery and fun animal cruelty. And, wouldn’t you know it, the darnedest thing happened there: a bull went and killed a guy who was tormenting it. Tradition!
We’ve belabored this point time and time again, so today let’s just sit back and watch the action unfold. This guy thought it’d be a good idea to go ahead and jump in the ring to join in all the bullfighting fun, but the bull wasn’t feeling it.
His goring is captured in this news video, which also features an interview with a rancher who does that thing we love where he blames the tragedy on the “type” of bull featured in this crowded ring (as if there were really any animal it would be OK to taunt, or any breed of bull that wouldn’t eventually get sick of things and up and decide to kill you for fucking with it.) Bullfighting is really just the most embarrassing part of our shared Latino culture, even more embarrassing than pickup trucks with La Virgin painted in the back window. This is just dumb.

Ok…OK… Your articles have convinced me… I no longer hold this to be a *romantic* sport…. Though I really wanted it to remain so in my brain. After reading your numerous articles on the subject, the reality of the brutality of man versus beast has hit me over the head. However, I am definitely one that romanticizes the game, but am coming around to realize that It is a sad, sad, “sport”. I agree. It should stop. But really, is it so wrong that I just want something else to take over the archetypal story of man-vs.-beast? Something with less bloodshed, of course…
I don’t mean to be weird, but the man-vs.-beast and man-becoming-beast in the process of getting rid of said beast, is really a great lesson that has been passed down for centuries. I guess I wonder what modern sport will replace this as a metaphor of knowledge? Can it be done without actual bloodshed? Where are the modern writers that can impart such knowledge and wisdom without readers actually experiencing this violent paradigm?
I dunno. Just my thoughts… even if the sum of them does not add up to much… Anyways, good articles! I look forward to reading more from you.
Ay güey! Go bull.
