[VIDEO] Female Matador Gored Twice By The Same Bull While Going For The Kill

A 25-year-old female bullfighter was severely injured after Gamusino, the bull that Karla de los Angeles was trying to kill, upped her over his head twice at the Placa de Toros de Mexico earlier this week. 

Cuts of 4.7inches and 3.9inches were made to the bullfighter's thigh and gluteal muscles during the bloody battle.  

Gamusino injured two different assistants as well as a farmer after he leaped over the ring and went into a walkway, according to AFP. One of the assistants    reportedly had a concussion and is in serious condition.      

5,000 people went to the bullring that day, as part of a ten-day event.    

De los Angeles' Facebook shows that in addition to being a female bullfighter, she is also the mother of a young girl. 

AFP reported that it was the first time three female Mexican bullfighters participated in the event at the Plaza de Toros de Mexico.  

During General Francisco Franco's reign, women in Spain were not allowed to be matadors. That has since changed, though not many bullfight professionally.

LBCI would like to point out that the purpose of this article is by no means to encourage cruelty against animals, but on the contrary, to highlight the plight of animals killed for sport in a gruesome manner.
