A bullfighter survives being gored in the heart in this
shocking video.
Mexican matador Mauricio Martínez Kingston suffered serious
wounds to the chest, lungs, heart and
eye when he was stabbed in the left
armpit by a bull during the fifth fight of the night at the Monumental Plaza in
Mexico City on Thursday.
The bull has a "banderilla" - the sharp sticks
used to stab the bull - hanging from a shoulder blade while Martinez dodges the
horns.
But the footage then cuts to later in the fight, where
another matador is taking on the bull before it turns towards Martinez
Kingston, who is lying face down on the ground.
The bull tramples the matador before lifting him into the
air by its horns. Martinez Kingston lands on his head, and lies motionless as
fellow bullfighters rush to his side.
Martinez Kingston was bleeding profusely and had to be
stabilised in hospital, ABC reported .
His condition was described as critical but stable.
But there was little sympathy for Martinez Kingston online
however.
Many people opposed to the blood sport sided with the bull,
which was killed after the fight.
"Good, I hate that activity (it's not a sport). A bunch
of loser brightly dressed clowns abusing an animal," said one commentator.
Another added: "Thats what you get for torturing an
animal the size of a van."
