Female bullfighter of Mexico City gored by a 495-Kg bull


#bullfighter #Mexico #matador Bullfighting is favorite sport of men in Spain and other parts of the world but, there are female bullfighters also. One of them, a Mexican female bullfighter, was gored by a 495-Kg bull in Mexico City.
Her name has been given as Karla de los Angeles and she has suffered injuries in a bullfight in Mexico City. It ems she was going in for the kill during the event when the bull tossed her over its head. Undeterred, she continued the fight after being attended to, but in her second attempt to kill the 495kg-animal (1,090lb), it gored her again.
As a result, she has suffered two cuts of 12cm (4.7 in) and 10cm in length to her thigh and gluteal muscles.
The bull, called Gamusino, also gored Karla’s assistant Federico Dominguez who tried to help Karla in the world's biggest bullring, Plaza Mexico. A spectator was also suffered injuries when the fourth bull of the afternoon jumped the wooden barrier surrounding the bullring.
Bullfighting is popular in Spain and, here, women were banned from performing as matadors - those who kill the bull on foot rather than from horseback - for decades under the regime of General Francisco Franco. The ban was lifted after the death of Gen Franco but the number of professional female bullfighters are few in Spain or in Latin America.
