In the news I keep seeing stories of tourists in Spain being gored by bulls in the annual Spanish bullrunning 'festival'. It involves frightened and disorientrated bulls (therefore 'angry') being released in cobbled streets while locals and tourists run ahead of them, sometimes getting injured or occasionally killed. The bulls get directed towards the bull ring where the run finishes and are then subjected to a torturous bull fight ending in their death how this is entertainment I don't know, but one injured participant this week was from America and one from Ireland, so they come from far and wide.
Aibu to wonder why anyone would do it and think the whole thing is cruel and sick to the bulls? It may be traditional, but why not bring back public hanging or gladiator fights if you want sick public spectacles?
