  "account": "A Spanish farmer has tragically died after being gored by one of his own bulls. The 58-year-old from Llerana in Cantabria survived the initial attack but later developed a bacterial infection in intensive care. The incident occurred on August 6 when the farmer was handling the animal on his family's farm. Despite suffering serious injuries, he managed to tie the bull up and was found by his brother later that evening. The family owns 80 head of cattle, and the farmer's absence from work was unusual enough for his brother to look for him. Cattle farming is vital to Spain's rural economy, with the beef sector accounting for around 15% of the value of Spain's final livestock production. When a farmer dies, the loss can deeply impact not only relatives but also the family farm and the community. The farmer's condition initially improved after hospital treatment, but he later died after developing a bacterial infection, the cause of which is unclear. The funeral took place on Friday, August 21, at the parish church of San Lorenzo in Llerana.",
