7/23/2004: Near-goring at Pamplona

Undertoad · 07-23-2004, 09:08 AM

Every year's bull run turns up a new set of amazing photos. This one is the best I've seen this year around, not for the danger involved (which is in every photo), but for the texture of the massive beast's rippling muscles. Amazing.

The horns are scary and stuff, but what about the hooves?

Does it really count as a "win" (snicker) if you escape the horns but are squished just a second later anyway?

I guess what I mean is: did that dude survive?

Tell me about it!

Look like at best he's about to cop a hoof to the head, at worse he's going to have a few ton of bull stepping on his groin.

damn that's one angry bull

rest in peace my poor brave friend

That is one beautiful animal. That picture should go in the dictionary beside the word "enraged".

While back on the subject, what exactly do they do with the bulls after all's said and done? If it's a huge BBQ party after, then the killing of the animals wouldn't seem like such a waste. I asked this before, but I don't remember if that or any replies were part of the posts that got lost when the wossname got buggered.

I remember they get skinned, I've seen a picture of that after a bullfight, not sure on the rest.

Tricoloreyes · 07-23-2004, 12:02 PM

I remember seeing a Bull Fight in Mexico when I was about eleven. The matador cut off the Bull's ears and gave them to women in the audience. The whole thing was bloody and the making of many nightmares. They kept spearing the bull with colorful spears that moved around has the bull moved. Then the blood. Lots of blood. The horns were auctioned off right there. I do not remember the hide or meat being sold. All I remember after they cut off the horns was throwing up on my brother.

They eat them. If I find a link I'll post it, my information comes from being in Spain and asking.

Holy! That takes balls!

Look at this picture of a guy gored this year. Impressive!

Anyway, it isn't normally like that. Normally, the run is pretty clean, only a few injured because of falls.

BUT the running of the bulls is dangerous. If you go to Pamplona enjoy the rest of the festival (Fiesta), have fun, it's one of the best festivals in the world and watch the run on TV, like most of us, the locals, do.

For pretty pictures about the run and the festival have a look to this link
