About time the bulls get to see some sport Nofucksgiven

How’s the bull?

Bull 1 - 0 Freaks

The bull wins for once. Karma…. Also, who takes an 18 month old to a bull fight?

Hope the bulll is ok

Shame it wasn't more.

Good. Hope they died in appalling agony, just like the bulls.

Hope the bulls ok

only 4? ...dammit

Hope the bulls were ok

Karma comes in all shapes 👍

Because health and safety is shocking in these country’s. Putting people at risk

Is the bull ok ?

If it had to happen to any crowd…

Whoops

Literally the only ones who have my sympathy are the Bulls and the 18 month old who did not choose. The rest who went to watch an innocent animal get slowly tortured to death, hope you all got a tiny taste of the terror they go through. 2022 this still happens 😞 rickygervais

This is terrible. There are at least three other stands that remain intact

The bulls are ok tho right 🤔

This will encourage more bulls to attend next year.
