The taunted half-ton beast that horrifically gored a Spanish matador by thrusting his horn through the bullfighter's throat and out his mouth clearly won the battle -- but lost in the end. Opiparo the bull wasn't spared a grisly death, even though he soundly defeated famed matador Julio Aparicio.


Aparicio was gored Friday while using his red cape and sword to agitate the bull at the Feria de San Isidro ring in Las Ventas, Spain. A relief matador was sent into the ring to finish off the raging bull.

According to bullfight rules -- win or lose -- the bull must die.

Aparicio, 41, was recuperating yesterday in stable condition at a Madrid hospital after a 6 ½-hour reconstruction operation on his mutilated mouth, tongue and jaw.

1. If this were a legitimate sport, they should have let the bull go and put down the losing matador.

It is not a fair competition if the bull and the matador are not fighting under equal conditions.

3. If it was a legitimate sport, the bulls would win 50% of the time. nm
