Briton gored in groin by Pamplona bull

PAMPLONA, Spain (Reuters) - Four people, including a Briton and an American,
have been gored by bulls on the streets of Pamplona during the third day of
the northern Spanish city's world famous fiesta.
"Hospitals attended nine people after the third bull run, four of them with
injuries caused by bulls' horns," the regional Navarra government said on
its website.


Those gored were identified as a 22-year-old American man from Louisiana
with a knee wound, a British man from Oxford of the same age with a slight
groin wound and two Spaniards with thigh and arm injuries.
Friday's run was the most crowded yet. It took almost five minutes for six
bulls and their accompanying steers to complete the 825 metres (900 yards)
of fenced-off, cobbled streets that lead to the bull ring, where they will
fight in the evening.
"This was the run with the most injuries so far. The other two were pretty
clean," a Red Cross official said. "The weekend runs are likely to be more
complicated because there will be more runners."
Friday's bulls quickly became separated and on several occasions a bull
stopped and tried to turn back or lunged sideways at people around it.
The centuries-old Pamplona fiesta in honour of St. Fermin draws thousands of
fans from around the world for a week of frenzied late night drinking and
early morning running with the bulls. Fifteen people have been killed since
1910.

Serves the pervers right.

Agreed. If the odds were not stacked impossibly against the bull we
would see many deaths of these pervert fruitcakes. The same mentality
the hunters have, yellow and nuts. Coincidence?
