Via Drudge: An anti-bullfighting activist jumped into the arena in Carcassone, southern France, on Sunday and was promptly attacked by one of the animals he wants to protect, local police said.
Two protesters, a man and a woman, were in the audience before managing to make their way into the main ring during the "novillada", a series of fights involving young bulls.
One bull charged at the man who, according to police a received "a long but not deep" injury from its horns.
The protester, in his 30s, "was very lucky" that he was not properly gored and was only lightly injured, another source said.
He was taken to Carcassone hospital for examinations. His female companion was not inured and was arrested by police.
Earlier two other protesters had briefly hung a banner saying "Stop Bullfighting" from the ramparts of the medieval French town.
Bullfighting is banned in most of France but is allowed in some southern regions where it is protected as part of local traditions.

That's gratitude.
"I'm going to waive this red flag until you stop bullfighting. OUCH!"
Guy was lucky he jumped into an arena with a minor league bull. The big league bulls in Madrid gore true. Well, at least according to Hemingway.
These animal rights activists break into mink farms, let thousands of mink free, and the mink starve to death in the wild. I always hope one of the mink go for the jugular on one of these shitbirds. mink are vicious on a satanic level.
