7/13/2004: Baited bull
The Spanish bull running events are always publicized but what about this? This is bull baiting, where the bull is encouraged to run right into the drink. I don't think this is the same form thought to be cruel in the past...? (I guss the damp lassie pulling herself out of the water has baited a bull, if not this one, a previous one.) Apparently it's not bad for the bulls, not as bad as getting a NASCAR number etched right onto their sides. They get pulled out of the water quickly after they jump into it. If they aren't hurt I imagine it would be just hilarious to see this massive animal chasing you and then, running right over the edge and making a big splash. |

I would have thought the biggest problem would be dropping in fast enough without jumping forward enough to have the danger of a couple of tons of angry animal with sharp bits landing on you.
I have got to go to this thing one one of these years.

This would be a hell of a lot funnier if the bull just happened to look at the camera right then.

bastards.
how can anyone get pleasure out of poor animals (whom from the pictorial evidence look to me in very bad shape, and cruelly branded) running around confused and frightned and then being tricked into plunging into the water. I love it when the bulls end up sticking people. serves them right. bastards!

You do raise a good question. We know that Bush is human - no animal could be that dumb, but what about Rumsfeld?

Not everybody in spain...
Not everybody in Spain like bullfighting. In fact there is a LOT of people that hate it (like myself).
The bad thing about Pamplona is not the "encierro" in the morning (bulls wins in this one, two days ago, eight men hurted), but the same bulls are killed in the "corrida" in the afternoon.

Here is a different version: Genesis 1:26 "Then God said, 'Let us make people in our image, to be like ourselves. They will be masters over all life--the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the livestock, wild animals, and small animals.'" -NLT If you believe The Bible, we ARE above all other life on earth (including vegitation in a different passage). God said it - I believe it. |

What exactly do they do with the bulls after they're killed? Is there a big BBQ afterwards or are they dumped somewhere to rot? Personally, I'd be happier to hear that they're put to good use after being killed.

Last I saw the score it was Bulls 18, Humans 0, no fatalities in Pamplona.
