The animal can be seen sliding down a ramp before landing roughly onto the ground, breaking both of his back legs on impact. He then limply drags himself along the path.
The footage, originally shared by The Animalist Party Against the Mistreatment of Animals (PACMA), was released to display the cold brutality behind the treatment of animals as a result of bullfighting for entertainment.
The viral video broke out in outrage amongst angry animal rights supporters, questioning what followed beyond the footage and calling for abolition of bullfighting in countries such as Spain.
