Photo Gallery Gored
Julio Aparicio became the most famous bullfighter in the world after he was gored through his neck by a bull. The grisly photograph appeared on front pages of newspapers around the globe. But stepping back into the arena was not easy.
The accident happened in Madrid on May 21. Aparicio fell to the ground during the bullfight. He made the mistake of trying to stand up.

The bull lowered his head, snorted, quickly approached the matador -- and rammed his right horn into Aparicio's neck, directly below his chin.

The horn re-emerged from the matador's mouth.

Aparicio was lucky the bull did not shake its head, as it would normally have done. Instead, it took a few steps forward and pulled its horn out again.

Many Spaniards oppose bullfighting. This photo shows a protest by animal rights activists in Pamplona before the famous Fiesta de San Fermin.
