This is the least you can expect?

I really don't understand why anyone would want to do this, not to mention the fear and stress the bulls must go through.

But Pixel all the bulls that do the running in the morning are killed in bullfights in the afternoon.

I do not understand how bullfights are still legal? It is so disgusting and barbaric Sad

Pixel · 13/07/2013 22:05

Gobblers that's what I meant, I wouldn't have any problem if it was just the bull run without the bullfight at the end. Sorry didn't make myself very clear Smile.

Ah with you, sorry. It's just horrific, I can't understand the mentality at all.

SabrinaMulhollandJjones · 13/07/2013 22:14

yanbu. Such a cruel thing to do.

WMittens · 13/07/2013 22:16

No I don't think that's the least you can expect - given the number of runners and the number of casualties, I think it's fair to assume the least than you can expect is to get away with a slight adrenaline boost.

The most you could expect would be death, so these injuries fall somewhere in between the least and the most you could expect.

Disgraceful 'event'. Why don't Spain ban this horrible bloodsport? No sympathy from me.

WMittens · 13/07/2013 22:54

Why don't Spain ban this horrible bloodsport?

The same reason foxhunting is still allowed in the UK - the bastards with influence like it.

YANBU, they must have a bloomin death wish or something. But what's sad is the cruelty side of it to those animals, although as Pixel rightly pointed out bullfighting is the pitts! Angry. They're BIG beasts, certainly not to be messed with!, they must have been born without a brain!. Play with fire you'll get burnt, shame on Spain not to ban such a ludicrous thing but especially the cruel bullfights!. It's sad for the good Spanish too, one of whom is a friend of mine and she likes animals and would never hurt one. How sad.

Foxhunting is illegal in the UK Confused

I cannot believe one of those pictures is captioned "victim pulled to safety"! Pretty sure the human is not the victim here!
