Golden Child’s Funeral: What happened?

A terrible tragedy occurred in Mexico during a Jaripeo when a child was killed by a bull that he was riding. The accident occurred in Puebla, a place where young people and children have to earn a living any way they can. One of these ways is jaripeo.

A video is circulating on social media where a 15-year-old young man, nicknamed «El Niño de Oro» (The Golden Child), was crushed and dragged by the bull he was riding in a jaripeo. Despite the danger involved in bull riding, teenagers and children are willing to risk their lives riding an animal weighing between 700 and 1,000 kilos for money, according to El Universal.

Bull kills the famous Golden Boy

A terrible loss occurred this weekend, when 15-year-old José Alberto Enríquez Báez, also known as “El Niño de Oro”, suffered an accident. The video was shared on Twitter showing the exact moment when the animal crushes the kid .

It is worth mentioning that “El Niño de Oro” was a rider at the Rancho los Morros cattle ranch, a company that is dedicated to the spectacle of bull fighting shows in Puebla, Morelos in the State of Mexico. The images showing when the animal knocks the young man down and drags him across the sand are shocking.

Shocking images of bull killing the Golden Child

In the video, it shows them announcing young José Alberto Enríquez Báez, who is mounted on the bull. When they open the doors, the animal comes out leaping. Everything seemed to be okay, since El Niño de Oro was giving a great show riding the bull.

But after a few seconds he gradually began to lose his balance. He suddenly fell from the animal and one foot got caught in the ropes. This caused the bull to trample him and drag him, seriously injuring his head and body and ultimately causing his death minutes later.

The Golden Boy couldn’t be revived.

In the video, a group of men who tried to help the young man are also seen, but neither paramedics or emergency services showed up to help him. It was announced over the speakers that they would hold the bull’s tail to try and calm it down, since it was trampling the Golden Child.

José Alberto, who was recognized for his work as a horseman, was transferred to the municipal hospital. Unfortunately, doctors were unable to save his life. Faced with this situation, the Puebla Attorney General’s Office reported that it will open an investigation about these events.

The Golden Child is remembered on social media

The cattle ranch remembered the «Golden Child» on social media with a post thanking him for the tournaments in which he participated. In the video broadcast by «Jaripeyera Addiction» on YouTube, we can see the moment when José Alberto crosses himself before riding the bull, which dragged him and finally rammed him.

According to the posters promoting the jaripeos, such as the one that occurred in Atlixco, Puebla, where the adolescent died, the prize for the winning rider is 30 thousand pesos. The entrance fee for these events, is generally 50 pesos and children can enter for free. TO SEE THE VIDEO CLICK HERE .

Jaripeos was accused of animal abuse before the bull killed the Golden Child.

In addition to the death of the 15-year-old rider in Atlixco, the group «Puebla animal movement» declared that there is animal abuse in the jaripeos, bullfights and cockfights. «Seventy percent of the poblanos believe that now show should involve animals,» they claim on their website.

Faced with this problem, the animal rights group asks the community to promote shows in Puebla that don’t feature animals so they won’t be mistreated. This would also help avoid a tragedy like the one that occurred with El Niño de Oro who was killed by a bull that trampled him.
