Human cruelty and stupidity in action. I have no sympathy and respect for anyone who participate in this. Why it's still going on is beyond me.

the bulls got more than 1.

only 1 was a aussie

i watched  foriegn news before and it showed a man who was injured by the bull in a hospital bed with both of his legs fully bandaged.

also show them the bull being held by the tail while someone tried to pull the man clear

I'm all for young folk getting out there and doing interesting stuff, but enabling the torture of animals shouldn't be part of it.

Bull 1, Human 0 .... until the oh-so-brave matador gets revenge.

Dopey sheila, sickening "sport".

I think there's some clause Re: dangerous activities like bungee sky diving which is not covered I presume running with the bulls would fall under that category. 

It amazes me why there's been no global protest regarding the stupidity of this event.

i have no idea why they think this event is good it is far from it imo.

Doesn't some organisation (PETA maybe?) have a nudie run the day or week or something before as a protest?

[lis351]

Yes, PETA organised a Running of the Nudes the day before, in protest. While it would have gotten lots of attention, I dont think their (quite often) use of nudity to protest animal cruelty actually does anything.

There are not enough words to describe what I think of this 'tradition'.

I think we should have a function button people can just press saying that. I'm sure it get used way too often.

Your bucket list is to kick the bucket?

Want to do something stupid? Get a knife and stab it in your eye. Saves you a flight to spain.
