The man admired by many Spaniards as the finest bullfighter ever seen is recovering in hospital after being gored by a bull during his comeback from retirement.
José Antonio Morante, more commonly known by his matador’s moniker Morante de la Puebla, suffered the injury on Sunday, while bullfighting in Seville. Video footage showed him being lifted off his feet as the bull’s horn punctured his buttock, before colleagues drew the animal away from him by distracting it with their capes.
After initially being in a very serious condition with the 10-centimetre wound, which perforated his rectum, Morante is now recovering.
Spain’s greatest bull gore’s washed up matador…
I image this like Gladiator where Maximus is actually the bull being the main character
I don’t know anyone who doesn’t root for the bulls, fuck bullfighting, fuck bullfighters, fuck the running of the bulls too. I hope everyone involved gets lifechanging injuries.
It’s indeed animal abuse imo
Same with foxhunting, barbaric traditions
- Mess with the bull.
- Get the horns.
Also, while a proctological exam is important at that age, it’s probably better to see a trained MD
Good
“It was the most painful goring I have ever suffered in my career,” he told El Mundo newspaper from his hospital bed. “I felt enormous pain and I was very scared because I could tell that the bull had gored me and I thought I was bleeding a lot.”
Perspective switch
I am amazed how one can use these words while being totally oblivious to the feelings of pain and being scared that the animals go through.
What do you mean? Torero feels pain and fear, which helps him to see the bull’s perspective. Wrong?
I must have missed the part here where the torero had a change of heart.
You’re not murdering animals for entertainment if you feel things like empathy or shame.
Today he learned being poked by sharp things hurts
After initially being in a very serious condition with the 10-centimetre wound, which perforated his rectum, Morante is now recovering.
Get rekt!
And those things never heal right.
Good
In Spain these guys will actually kill the bull in the Arena (hence the name “matador” - literally “killer”), so this is only fair.
PS: Mind you, not that “just” the part of torturing of the bull (the only part done in Portugal) is much better.
I love the photo. That horn looks like it’s getting a full tour of that fucker’s Spanish colony.
To the moon!
Cant share the link because my phone is currently all babymoded, but in reddits r/shittyabsoluteunits theres a video called “of a prostate exam” and its pretty shocking. Mad eme go “OH NO FUCK”. Pretty sure its this. Worth checking out if you’ve got the stomach for it.
Thank you for informing me of this magnificent subreddit lol
“…bull in comeback from retirement” Sounds like the comeback was successful :P
(Is there a c/ for ambiguous headlines?)
awww. poor guy. Maybe next time he shouldn’t have participated in the torture of a live animal.
Spaniard here.
Bullfighting is nowadays extremely niche of the extreme right wind retards. No normal perdon liked it, let alone knows the name of that arschloch.
We are happy the bull managed to win a small fight.
the spanaird gored the fool.
I’m glad to hear this—hopefully it will be completely gone soon.
Man, I love the EU.
Spaniard here
German username and uses the word Arschloch
English comment
This is the world I want to live in!
L’europe c’est comme ça ;)
Boa noite.
Plus, his username is “ich will hier raus”, lol
That was all well and good, but I was hoping it was the video if the matadors asshole getting reemed by the bull and not a live concert song in spanish that’s apparently anti bull fighting.
The video is all over the net … here ya go friend.

The point I was trying to make was that we’ve been protesting it since the 90’s and it’s almost extinct.
Yeah. I heard damned near everyone is against it there.
I always root for the bull.
Wife approved comment.
Mess with the bull, you get the horns.
