Pictured: Wife who was sat in the crowd as her Spanish matador husband was gored to death - the first bullfighter killed in 30 years

I wonder how many on here putting stupid comments actually eat meat and realise how your burgers come from. A 18 month old bovine kept in a crate all its life is far more cruel than having a bull treated like a king for 5 years before having 15 minutes in the ring at the end of life. Bunch of hypocrites

Any who cheer the death of this man and whom wear leather shoes coats gloves and or whom have ever relished beef are but hypocrites. The opinions of same should ever be dismissed with scorn.

To all those keyboard warriors justifying this man's death- I'm sure your steak will appreciate your concern for cattle rights.

Shocking how cold people can be in the comments. Really, it's a bull. I don't like bull fighting either but I can at least show compassion for a life lost. Sad for the wife .

People who honestly celebrate the death of a young man because of his perceived cruelty towards a farm animal have lost the plot. Btw, you people do realize that these kind of Bulls would relentlessly fight each other during mating season, often leading to the death of one of the competitors? Fighting and dying in the process is engrained in bulls. Enjoy your next steak, produced from cows that did not have a remotely as nice life as any of these pampered fighting bulls. I guess killing animals factory style without them ever having seen the sun is morally superior towards the backward Spaniards.

How can people say they're pleased that the matador is dead? Yes, this tradition is crazy and barbaric but come on...would you be glad if your loved one did this and he died? Would you say to this man's wife's and parents' faces that you're glad their loved one is dead? I'm against animal cruelty, but also against heartless people making mean comments without thinking.

Bullfighting is miles better than rugby. Rugby is the worst sport ever. Only losers play or watch it.

If you buy supermarket meat, you have no moral credibility to condemn bullfighting

I hope they euthenized the bull after.

So many people, here, getting on their moral high horse. A human life is gone. Extinguished. I suppose all of you leaving despicable, insensitive comments have never had a burger in your whole life? And before you chime in about these bulls being t o r t u r e d, what do you think is going on in some abattoirs? Do you think the bovine are singing Christmas carols and chugging fine wine from gilded goblets? Watch a documentary called, Earthlings - perhaps, you might reconsider your Sunday lunch meal choice. There's a time for everything, now is not the time for this repudiation.

As I was reading the article I kept thinking how bad the bullfighting is, but when I went to the comments I was disgusted by people who went to a haterage and actually believe that he got what he deserved. Just imagine if you choked from a chicken bone and your death went public, all vegeterians could say that you were a monster and the world is better now. How nice will be for your family... And before you say it is not the same, well, it is for a group of people so they can hurt as much as they want your family.You can choose what kind of person you want to be, but don't pretend to be better than the rest of us. You don't have the right to hurt someone even if you hate him. Instead we could all agree how bad bullfighting is for the bull and for the people. If you believe this is the cause to fight for then you could show this death as an example to stop bullfighting and to change the minds of the "monsters".

At least this matador had courage and honour. Not like the vegan/veggie/animal sentimentalists sniping around here.

He was attractive too, what a waste.

I have done the bull run but it would take years to learn tbe art of bullfighting.very sad for this brave man.

And animal-loving English culture is going to evaporate in the next couple of decades, if not sooner. You loathe and criticize other cultures for antiquated practices, but don't watch your own backs?

I'm thinking of going to the Running of the Bulls next year. Sounds like fun to run from a bunch of mad bull must be an adrenaline rush.

While I don't condone bull fighting, a human's life is far more valuable than an animals. Some of these comments are disgusting. Shame on you militant animals rights "activists", and RIP to the matador.

Lessons must be learned, in the future, all bulls reared for fighting must have their horns sawed off under anesthesia to prevent such incidents from happening again.

You all say bull fightings horrific and should be banned yet you all sit down tomorrow for your roast beef lunch ?? So what's it to be your all just as bad

The majority of comments here are against bullfighting and I'm therefore assuming animal cruelty in general. Any of you support hunting? Or eat meat? And anyone who red arrows-have the follow through and brain power to explain this dischord please.
