Pamplona and the Running of the Bulls

thruthfully I don't care for bullfighting because of the gore and all that but some of those matadors are pretty nice-looking!

I understand that the smart money is on the bulls rather than the drunks.

Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree may be a better site to ask this question.

Me - let the bulls go free!

Hi all

Running of the bulls, bullfighting and all those nasty things should be forbidden. It is a shame that an european country keeps these barbaric acts.

Pamplona is the clear example about it doesn´t have to be done.

Besides, there is a "funny" paradox. I don´t know if runners run in front of bulls or viceversa. Bulls must be afraid of other kind of animals.

Is this progress? Anyway, what can you expect about a country where last year 98.000 dogs were forsaken on roads and streets?

Regards

It wouldn't be a bad idea to run with the bulls. I always wondered if I could run faster than the bulls or vice versa.

The bulls can definately outrun you, Duke. Fortunately, they're not really out to get you.

A friend of mine snapped this shot a couple of years ago.
I sure miss him.

Lovely pic LionTamer---I've always wanted to go to Pamplona and Spain in general I guess!
