WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT
A Spanish matador wiped away blood from a bull's face before he killed the badly injured animal in a gesture described as 'malicious and perverse' by an animal rights group - while others have called it 'respectful'.
Morante de la Puebla was taking part in a bullfighting festival at the Real Maestranza bullring in the city of Seville in the southern Spanish region of Andalusia when the incident took place.
The 39-year-old is seen pulling out a handkerchief with his blood-soaked hand to clean the dying bull.
The animal is seen with four spiked 'banderillas' sticking out of its back before the final death act takes place.
