Fighting bull ‘Mouse’ dies in Sueca, Spain

A FIGHTING bull named “Mouse” which became one of the most popular and most feared beasts in Spanish town festivals after he killed three people has died.

The 12-year-old black-and-white bull, which weighed 550kg, died on Sunday on a ranch in the eastern town of Sueca. Owner Gregorio de Jesus said he intended stuffing the beast and putting him on display at the ranch.

The bull, known as “Raton” (Mouse) in Spanish, was a leading attraction in bull-running events during town summer festivals because of his lethal charges. He was retired in 2011.
