The corraleja is a traditional festival held in several parts of Colombia, where members of the public are invited into a temporary arena to interact with bulls after they are released. Unlike conventional bullfighting, the event allows spectators to enter the ring, bringing them into close contact with the animals.
The incident left at least four people injured, with emergency responders arriving at the scene to provide medical assistance before transporting the victims to nearby medical centres for treatment.
Reacting to the incident, Ricardo Suárez, Tolima’s Secretary of the Interior, condemned the event and called for an end to bullfighting in the region.
“The bull jumped towards the barrier where spectators were standing and attacked some of them.
“This is the consequence of the violence that we humans continue to promote.
“We must move towards new forms of entertainment and new spectacles that genuinely enrich Tolima’s culture.
“This proves that such barbarity is neither culture nor bravery. Bullfighting must end in Tolima. It is a grotesque practice that contributes absolutely nothing to society.
“We cannot seek enjoyment at the expense of the suffering of sentient beings – animals, and bulls that do not understand what is happening to them.”
