Islero
Spanish fighting bull
Islero was a Spanish Fighting Bull of the Miura breed, known for fatally goring the famous bullfighter Manolete on August 28, 1947. The incident occurred during a bullfight in Linares, Spain.
Background[edit | edit source]
Islero was born in 1945 and was part of the Miura ranch, a prestigious breeder of fighting bulls. The Miura breed is known for its size, strength, and aggressive behavior, making them a favorite in the bullfighting arena.
The Incident[edit | edit source]
On August 28, 1947, during a bullfight in Linares, Islero was the fifth bull to be fought by Manolete, one of the most renowned bullfighters of the time. During the final stages of the fight, known as the estocada, Islero managed to gore Manolete in the thigh, severing his femoral artery. Despite receiving immediate medical attention, Manolete succumbed to his injuries the following day.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The death of Manolete had a profound impact on the world of bullfighting and led to increased scrutiny and changes in safety measures within the sport. Islero's name became synonymous with the dangers of bullfighting and is often referenced in discussions about the risks faced by bullfighters.
