Shocking scenes from a bullfight in northern Colombia, after participants are gored by
the animals, with two men even being killed whilst trying to subdue them.
Doctors said one of the victims, 46-year-old Daniel Cardona, was killed when the bull's
horn pierced his heart, while another died later in hospital.
Unfortunately, the animal caught him by surprised and gored him. According to the doctors who
were at the scene, it was a very deep stab to the heart.
At least 15 others were injured on the second day of the bullfighting festival, which takes
place on the country's Caribbean coast.
Despite the high risks involved and widespread protests from animal rights activists, the
sport still remains a popular activity in Colombia.
