Pamplona Running of the Bulls

The latest attempts by a group of cretins to get themselves Darwin Awards has just taken place with one British man being gored "between the anus and genitals" , a local government official said. His injuries were not thought to be life-threatening (what a shame).

So the question is: does everyone injured as a result get hit with a bill for the full cost of treatment? I would damn well hope so... Utter, utter fkwits.

Yes it is.

Anyone who thinks it is acceptable to torture animals to death for fun has something wrong with them.

The topic in discussion here is the Bull Running in Pamplona, no bulls are tortured to death in the event, so cats being set light to and donkeys being pushed off buildings have nothing to do with it. The only thing that you are arguing about is the advocacy of the tradition. There are traditions (good and bad) that individuals choose to support, but your argument holds no weight when you digress into the specifics of others and try to use the negative points (such as animal torture) to try to add credibility to your argument for something that you simply don't agree with.

As abhorrent as these other tradition are, I agree. I raised this topic more to discuss the perverse stupidity of the human participants

So when you see something like this



Do you feel sorry for the bull, already bleeding to death in in a position where it cant possibly survive, or feel sorry for the person?

Personally, I feel sorry for the bull. As far as I'm concerned the matador's injuries are wholly self-inflicted.
