Marco Galán, a bullfighter who lost a testicle after being gored, says he is relieved “no serious damage was done”
Marco Galán, a bullfighter who lost a testicle after being gored at Madrid’s Las Ventas bullring, said on Tuesday he was relieved that “no serious damage had been done”.
Mr Galán, a banderillero, was caught by a bull on Sunday as he was driving two decorated iron-tipped batons (banderillas) into the beast’s shoulders.
“I didn’t want to pull out of the move and the bull caught me; that’s bullfighting,” Mr Galán said from hospital. “But I am happy because things looked bleak there for a while.
“It turns out that the goring is quite a clean one and didn’t touch anything vital.”

He was hoping to leave hospital on Tuesday and return home with his wife to recuperate before returning to the bullring. The couple do not have any children.
Animal rights groups have criticised the battered bullfighter for taking part in the blood sport.
“Banderillero Marco Galán’s injuring a testicle in the bullring will undoubtedly have been a painful tragedy for him personally, but the cruel and bloody spectacle of bullfighting is a national tragedy for the reputation of Spain,” said Wendy Higgins, the European spokesperson of Humane Society International, an animal rights association.
Mr Galán said the Spanish breed of fighting bulls are born for combat in the ring and lead a “pampered existence” in the countryside before their day of destiny arrives.
“But I don’t care what they say. Just let people do what they want and enjoy the art of bullfighting and stop criticising something they don’t know,” he said.
Exposing the Big Game 
I’m surprised to know he had testicles, sick cowards usually haven’t. “The couple do not have any children.”: thank goodness!
I had no idea torturing and killing an animal was considered “art”.
So no serious damage was done, that’s of course you aren’t the bull. This is no fight, its the brutalisation of an innocent animal for a perverted crowd to enjoy.And don’t forget those poor horses who also often are disembowelled and have blindfolds on and devices placed in their ears to block out sound. Yes, that’s the art and culture for you, just glorified slaughter on public view.
Well, Karma got it half done!
Furthermore, bullfighting is not a “sport” or an “art” or an “entertainment” except as enjoyed by substandard specimens who get their jollies watching animals suffer and die. They simply can’t define it away.
Hope he loses the whole damn package soon!
And the crowd went wild – just think, the public enjoys watching both get hurt. It’s like gladiator days.
