second bullfighter to suffer a goring of this nature<\/a> this week.<\/p>\nA video posted to social media shows Rey holding a red fabric, a muleta, in one had and what appears to be a sword in the other.<\/p>\n
Moments later, the bull rams into Rey, tossing him around while others try to distract the raging bull.<\/p>\n

Rey managed to roll away before being helped to his feet. Blood can be seen across his pants.<\/p>\n
He was carried out of the arena by five men.<\/p>\n
Just days earlier a top Spanish bullfighter suffered a “very serious” injury after a bull’s horn reportedly perforated his rectum following a 10cm gore.<\/p>\n
Jose Antonio Morante Camacho, dubbed by many publications as ‘king of the bullfighters’, was competing on Monday, April 20 when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n
Video footage of the incident show the bull horn connect with his buttock but the extent of the injury was not visible other than a tear in his pants.<\/p>\n

Bullfighting is a contest between a matador and a bull, in which the fighter tries to subdue or kill the animal in accordance with a set of rules.<\/p>\n
The controversial practice is legal in Spain, France, Portugal, Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador, but many other countries, including the UK, have banned the contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Matador Andr\u00e9s Roca Rey is the second bullfighter to sustain serious injuries after fighting a bull this week…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[4352,109,17],"class_list":{"0":"post-10750","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-seville","8":"tag-injuries","9":"tag-seville","10":"tag-spain"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/spain\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
