Bulls 7, Runners 0 In Pamplona's Bull Run
Thursday's dash in Pamplona, Spain, was the most dangerous bull run yet in this year's festival. Bulls gored seven people and seriously injured several others. Thirteen people went to the hospital. Three needed surgery and are reported in very serious condition.
The Running of the Bulls is an insane event held for 8 days and involves many drunken idiots getting gored. Some pictures of the carnage.
Hi! I'm a Spanish girl, from Barcelona and I'm totally agree about this post and the opinion. I hate some Spanish traditions, especially the cruel traditions with animals like bulls. This "party" is not the wrost for me, 'cos that only hurts people but they goes 'cos they want. I think the worst Spanish tardition is the bulls' "corridas": one man versus one bull... bull deads cruely, with a lot of suffer and the man's award is the ear and the tail of the dying bull (still not dead). I hate them and I want that tradition ends but it's very impossible... :(
I hope that nobody relates all the Spanish (well, I don't consider myself Spanish, I amb Catalan) to this type of aggressions.
