Good, I'm all for tradition and all but anyone dumb enough to join that event deserves what they get.

FireFly · 07-13-2007, 06:28 PM

Well the first picture was definitely the grossest. It took me a while to comprehend just what I was looking at, but when I did... *shudders*

CaramonLS · 07-13-2007, 06:58 PM

I'm really glad they didn't show that dude about 5 seconds later.

Picture #3 should not be missed

Do people realize the combination of viciousness and strength these animals can contain when they agree to go in something like this? I question the guys in the Rodeo who ride them, but at least there is a potentially big payday there for some of them. What you have to gain from the running of the bulls though leaves me thinking these people are just plain stupid. "Hey, I ran with the bulls in Spain and ended up being thrashed by one with a horn loged in my ass causing me to never be able to defecate properly or without pain for the rest of my life!"

uhhh... cruelty to who? the bulls? pretty sure the only cruelty suffered is by the people who get gored, but they volunteered to run with the bulls. it's not like they are forced out there. although it might be a suitable punishment for cheering for the oilers.

it's not like bull fighting where they kill the bulls at the end is it?

The bulls are commonly injured during this as well actually.

Plus the bulls that run in the morning are used in bullfights the same evening.

I'm actually surprised PETA hasn't managed to have this thing shut down.

I doubt anyone takes PETA seriously anymore.

It's not really up to us outside of Spain to be trying to get it shut down. Gotta let the locals figure it out themselves.

The bulls are usually violentely killed after being tortured in the bullfights in the evening after the run. IE: bullfighters stab them with multiple spears over the course of the show and then shove a sword down their necks.

No kidding. I guess it's too far away for PETA to firebomb.

Anyways Spain restricted these type of events but the actual Running of the Bulls and bull fights have been allowed because of the tourism they bring in.
