Just over a year a go I did a post about a little brat who at the age of 11 became the youngest matador to kill six young bulls in a single fight. At the time I warned Mexican Michelito Lagravere Peniche to go off and play with a Nintendo, lest he be gored (something I would not shed a tear over)

Now it seems that he had his first taste of what a bull can do to a matador. Michelito was carried sobbing from the bullring in Cali, Colombia on Sunday after being tossed in the air by a bull nearly 10 times his weight.

His father, a retired matador himself, encouraged him to go back into the ring to finish the fight but within minutes the he was again knocked to the ground by the bull’s horns. Luckily for him his injuries were not anywhere near life threatening.

Sadly little Michelito seems to want to carry on his barbaric “sport”. Perhaps next time we hear of him will be when he is gored to death. He has had his chance to go and whack off and play video games like any other 12 year old

Go and play with a Nintendo you little brat

Today’s BBC carries a report about vile little brat who has earned a dubious record. Aged 11 Mexican Michelito Lagravere Peniche became the youngest matador to kill six young bulls in a single fight

The controversial spectacle was given a last minute go-ahead by the authorities despite pressure from child protection and anti-bullfighting campaign groups. Merida's mayor had suspended the record attempt, saying it was illegal for youths under the age of 18 to take part in high-risk public performances. But the state prosecutor's office overturned the ban just hours before the fight after Michelito's father - a former French bullfighter - launched an appeal.

Some 3,500 people, including many children, reportedly gathered to witness the fight at the ring in the eastern city of Merida in Yucatan state. The child matador is already an international star in the world of bullfighting. He first entered the ring when he was four, killed his first bull calf two years later and has since taken on dozens of animals around the world.

"The bullfighting opponents shouldn't stick their nose in things they don't like," he said ahead of his record attempt. No-one is forcing them to watch bullfights or to keep informed about them. It's as if I told a boy who does motocross not to do it, it's very bothersome."

Last year, the child prodigy (PRODIGY?) caused a public outcry in France while he was touring the bullfighting circuit there. Several cities banned him from killing animals during his appearances after anti-bullfighting activists waged a high profile campaign. They said they had targeted him over other younger matadors because "he fights in corridas [bullfights] aiming to kill".

To be honest I will not shed a single tear if this little brat gets gored by one of the bulls – after all it is an occupational hazard of the so-called sport. As far as I am concerned bullfighting is a barbaric spectacle that should have been consigned the dustbin of history a long time ago. Michelito should go off and do something far more productive with his time like whacking off and playing video games.
