Ratón ("Mouse" in English) is a Spanish fighting bull that has been nicknamed el toro asesino (the killer bull), el sangriento toro (the bloody bull) and el terrible Ratón (the terrible Mouse) for killing three people in bullfighting rings in Spain between 2006–2011 and injuring thirty more. The bull has become legendary in Spain due to the large number of gorings for which he has been responsible. Bullfighting fans regard him as a star and travel from across the country to see the morlaco (big bull) at his home at Sueca near Valencia. Matador Jesús Esteve says of Ratón: "He is a killer. He is lazy, he doesn't want to participate. He does his own thing, waiting for somebody to make a mistake. And then when he gets you, he wallops you, and he doesn't let up."
Due to Ratón's fame, bullfighting clubs have paid exceptionally high fees of up to €15,000 to feature him in their events. In 2010, for instance, the municipality of Ricla hosted Ratón during a festival in honour of St. Mary Magdalene, paying €9,000 – nine times the normal fee for a fighting bull. The bull's fame is so great that, as in the case of the Ricla fiesta, he has been given star billing on advertisements. Although the organisers have to pay very high fees to see Ratón perform, the bull's owner asserts that the outlay is worth it: "[H]e works out the cheapest because wherever he goes organizers double the ticket price."

Genres: Drama,Is it a crime to want to be happy in a sick, sick world
If it's the fool who believes in forgiveness, I'm a sick, sick girl
I long to cry on someone's shoulder
To receive a friend's absolution
And I think I know that look I've seen it before
I think you're pitying me
And if you need an emotional score
Then I will be your emotional whore
And when I spit you out at last
You'll understand, try to understand
When is the time to give into mercy and walk from the pain
Where is the will to yearn for out freedom and break the chains
I long to fall into your slumber
You long to slowly pull me under
And I think you know me well, far too well
Too well for my own good
Is it a crime to want to be happy in a sick, sick world
I'm a sick, sick girl
And if you need an emotional score
Then I will be your emotional whore
And when I spit you out at last
