A Good start to the Weekend

"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? |
