"Bullfighter's Graphic Goring Incident Shocks and Sparks Controversy"

A stomach-churning video captured the moment a bull gored Spanish matador Alejandro Conquero's rectum during a bullfighting event in Madrid. The 28-year-old suffered a serious injury to his posterior perianal region, which dissects the rectum and could affect the external sphincter of the anus. Conquero's father, a famous matador, was known as "The Hurricane of Huelva." This incident follows a similar goring of another matador in Cadiz last week, and a previous goring of a matador in Santiago in July. Despite sustaining multiple injuries, Conquero remains committed to the controversial sport.

Roca Rey's teammate, Cayetano Rivera Ordoñez, jumped in to divert the bull's attention but was also gored, suffering a fractured rib.
