Was it a Chicago bull? Was it ejected for a flagrant foul?

No one told this guy to go into an arena with a bull who had been goaded, stuck with little spears and otherwise tortured. I root for the bull in this barbaric “pastime”.

causing him to lose 3 liters of blood

You only start with about 5 liters. I'm surprised he survived losing over half.

Some days you get the bull, other days the bull gets you.

I find it very hard to be sympathetic about this. I detest bullfighting with every fiber of my being.

Ritualized animal cruelty.

There’s an old joke about an American that doesn’t speak Spanish at a restaurant in Spain.

He sees criadillas on the menu and orders them, and finds them quite tasty.

Asked the waiter what they are, and is told “bull testicles” from the bull fight.

Next day, orders them again, and two small walnut size pieces are presented on the plate, so he asks the waiter about the size difference compared to his early experience.

The waiter responds, “Well, senor, the bull, he does not always lose.”

Yikes! He lost 60% of his blood. I can’t believe he survived that.

I just watched a great movie called “Blood and Sand” about bull fighting in the 1940s Spain. Tyrone Power, Linda Darnell, and Rita Hayworth — what a cast!
