 A Bullfighter is now fighting for his life after being gored several times during his debut appearance. 
 
 23-year-old Daniel Garcia Navarrete is in a critical condition after getting pierced multiple times after making his bullfighting debut at the Las Ventas arena in Madrid. 
 
 In front of 10,000 shocked spectators at Spain’s biggest bullfighting arena, the young Matador was continuously mauled by the raging bull before his fellow bullfighters stepped in to help him.

 Navarrete was pierced by the bull’s horns several times, including in his throat. He was also flipped in the air before staff tried to come to his rescue. 
 
 Of his many wounds, the worst were six and eight inches deep, penetrating the roof of his mouth and underneath his tongue, respectively. He also suffered severe bruises and extensive cuts. 
 
 He was immediately seen to by the arena’s medical staff who said he’s lucky to be alive. Navarrete underwent emergency surgery at the Hospital San Francisco of Assisi, who said that his condition remains ‘severe’. 
 
 Spectators described the carnage as ‘horrific’, with many believing the bull was going to kill Navarrete right then and there. 
 
 One of person who was in attendance said: 
 
 There was blood on his neck and a hole in his thigh… The bull was literally shaking him about like a rag doll

 This is just latest case in spate of bullfighters getting serious injuries – just days ago Antonio Romero received an 11 inch-deep puncture in his rectal area (I think our butt-checks did a little clench there) in Mexico City. 
 
 Local reports claim he had to have his entire rectal region stitched back together. 
 
 Just nope. 

 Daniel García Navarrete was rushed to hospital in a serious condition

– A 23-year-old matador was severely injured after a nasty turn with a bull in one of Spain's most famous bullfighting venues. More than 10,000 people in Madrid's Las Ventas bullring watched in horror Sunday as a bull started tossing Daniel Garcia Navarrete around "like a rag doll," as one witness described the bloody scene to Reuters. The Sun has graphic images of the incident, both during and after the goring, which led to Navarrete being impaled about 6 inches into his throat by the 1,000-pound-plus animal; he reportedly sustained injuries to his tongue and the roof of his mouth. Reuters says he was also pierced about 4 inches in the leg before fellow matadors, as seen in the video shown here, rushed in to get the bull away from him. Unilad, which reports this was Navarrete's debut appearance, says many in the audience thought they were going to watch the bull maul Navarrete to death right in front of them. Navarrete is also said to be contending with a broken collarbone and sliced sciatic nerves; the Las Ventas ring said Monday in a statement he was recuperating after surgery the day before. The hospital where he's being treated describes his condition as "severe." (A 29-year-old bullfighter met a worse fate on live TV last summer.)
