frannyo 2 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Are we sympathetic or not for this and matadors being injured? Me, not. Quote: A man, reported to be British, has been gored to death during the running of the bulls in Pamplona, the first such fatality since 1995. Skip related content Spanish National Television said the unidentified man was gored in the neck during a run that was messy and dangerous because of a rogue bull that separated from the pack. Fernando Boneta, emergency room chief at Navarra Hospital, said three other people were also gored, and six others suffered bumps, bruises and other lesser injuries. The last fatal goring at the running of the bulls claimed the life of 22-year-old American Matthew Tassio in 1995. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Takes a hell of a lot for me to feel sympathetic about anyone's death let alone fools running in front of bulls. Link to post Share on other sites

Jynxx 4 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Dying during something he chose to participate. Not even an issue of sympathy. Since there will be no death tolls if it weren't for the gringos, if I were a local I'd be thinking something else... like play with some calves somewhere else. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 NOT I do however have sympathy for the kid who was traumatised watching the whole thing...and think his parents need a good whack upside the head for risking his safety. Papa disagree's with me. But I fail to see the logic in doing things just because they are tradition and that is the way it has always been done...do we not evolve? Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 So you actively enter a race where you are being chased by a raging bull? I can understand throwing tomatoes, running on logs, carrying wives all as traditional events. BUT this.... does seem to scream a bit of insanity. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 No, they get herded into a large fire pit and they are roasted and everyone eats giant steaks all night!!! Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 TB, that's just wishful thinking! Running of the rams, at Barraba, NSW, Aus is a far better bet, at least the rams don't have really sharp bits. Of course they are a bit less stroppy than bulls are, too! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Isn't the bull run supposed to deliver the bulls to the arena for bull fighting? And the bulls are made into some sort of stew in restaurants outside the arena. Link to post Share on other sites
