I hate that whole thing.....I feel terrible what they do to the poor bull. It's right up there with rodeo's if you ask me. :barf:

Agree.

I'm only compassionate when people get hurt through no fault of their own. I think stupid is as stupid does, and these people deserve it.

Do you think the bull removed it by gently backing it out or what?

Dude....its better than hanging them by their legs and slitting their throats and then eating them. I bet you don't think "those poor cows" when you bite down on that piece of juicy steak. :o

The people who do this have got to be some of the stupidest mofos on the planet.
Of course, bullfights are even worse. Talk about animal abuse. The whole intent is to anger and injure the bull, and then to kill it in the end. Sometimes a bull is granted a reprieve of sorts, often dying of dehydration and infection of wounds sustained during the fight before it can go back to pasture. It's barbaric. In one of my college Spanish classes, a girl did an oral report on it and brought a video. It made us all sick. I had to turn away because it was so disturbing. I can't believe it's still legal in so many places. They do unspeakably horrible things, causing immense suffering, to those animals.

Exactly Jenn. To injure the bull, taunt (sp?) it and then kill it in the end is just bizarre to me - I know it's a tradition but it's one tha's bamboozling.

"Excuse me, Mr. 1,400 pound raging beast. Do you think you could slide that horn back out the hole it came in? Yeah, the one about 12 inches lower than where the tip of the horn is. It would just really hurt if you decided it was better to throw your head back and rip my entire calf off....haha...calf...get it!......oh *&%!"

Well since you've brought it up again Sam, I will answer your 2 posts which I believe are directed at me. I don't have a problem with killing animals to FEED people however I do have a problem killing them so people can wear a fur coat and I do have a problem with the whole circus, bull fighting, running with the bulls, rodeo etc because I personally believe it's cruel to the animals.

There are other ways of feeding people. I doubt the animal feels better because it will become food. But its nice to know YOU feel better. :o
The whole event has turned into one big opportunity for douche Americans studying abroad in Spain to get real drunk and pretend to do something 'dangerous' or 'extreme' just so they can tell their collar-popping buddies back home about their 'wild' Spanish experience.

Pretend? There's not much pretending when getting chased by a bull.

There is a difference for killing an animal slow and painfully purely for sport, and killing it for survival and food. Animals kill eachother in the wild all the time, but they have a reason which is survival. Things like Bull fights really serve no purpose at all.

No one's been killed in 13 years and, despite appearances, getting gored or trampled isn't any more damaging than most tackle football injuries.
'Running with the bulls' is decidedly less dangerous than being stuck in Cape Cod traffic with New York plates.

Yes they can, however the point is not that they cant the point is that there is an actual purpose for when an animal is killed for food rather than sport. And if you want to go that route plants as well are living things and there was a recent study determining that they can in fact feel pain, that i am going to attempt to find now.
Regardless we as humans have the ability to eat both plants and animals, and i cannot fault anybody for whichever living thing they choose to kill in order to survive.

Those horses love to run and love the competition along with the feeling of winning.

Michael said, "My leg was in shambles. You could see the bone and the muscle and all the tendons and everything."
Instead, the trip left the younger of the two brothers recovering from an injury that nearly severed his right leg.
"They actually took the skin that was left around and got it back on his leg," the father said.
Lawrence was recovering from an 8-inch cut on his buttock.
At a Pamplona hospital both are in stable condition, undergoing heavy dosages of antibiotics and said they feel hopeful about the future.
"They're telling us both that there won't be any long-term issues," Lawrence said. "We'll both have some nasty scars in different locations. But they're most worried about infection because the bull's horn is pretty dirty."
Leg still attached...and he probably is walking normally now...but i still wouldnt sign up.

I'm just glad not to see the pic of when the bull removed the horn. They'd have to tranquilize or shoot the bull in order for that not to be one pile of spattering blood all of everyone within a 10 foot diameter.

According to this article, the last person to be gored to death was 13 years ago, but there's other ways to be killed by a bull:
The last fatality from a goring was a 22-year-old American, Matthew Tassio, in 1995. In 2003, a 63-year-old Pamplona native, Fermin Etxeberri, was trampled in the head by a bull and died after spending several months in a coma.
On Sunday, a 23-year-old Irishman died after falling from an ancient wall that encircles the old quarter of Pamplona.

Some guy falling from a wall while watching the event doesn't mean the event is dangerous, it means that guy has poor balance

Humans can survive without eating animals.Seems to me that animals that only eat plants have flat teeth, for the grinding and munching. And, animals that only eat meat have the sharp, pointy teeth for the ripping and tearing.
Humans have both the flat, grindy teeth and the sharp, pointy teeth and are therefore omnivores. We were designed to eat both the ribeye and the corn on the cob.
Excuse me....I gotta go grab somethin' to eat.
