The latest Pamplona fiesta. Can you imagine our HSE allowing this ?

Imagine this in British towns and cities. You could cut youth crime and disorder at a stroke. If there are loads of young 'uns causing grief, disorder and upset, have a police van with bulls in it and let them loose.

Es moy acceptable para mi.

Sounds like a good plan to me

Tis Faysh

When I was at uni,one of my housmates mates was Sapnish and his dad used to get chased every year, the last time he ran he was well into his 80's!

I hate this 'festival' with a vengeance.

Yup. Serves them right. Any animal which injures a human who has forced it to do something like that against its will gets a big thumbs up from me.

Even though many aspects of this is not exactly "fair" on the bulls, the bulls tend to live a very comfortable life and are well treated. It's part of a culture that to us is very alien, just like in other parts of the world, you have your hand chopped off for being a theif, or your outer labia cut off once you turn 13 (some african country) with no anaesthetic. Gross? Yes. Weird? Yes. Inhumane? Only by our standards, by theirs it's been their way for centuries, who are we with our overgrown sense of might and superiority to tell them that what they're doing is wrong?

Pebs · 08-07-2008, 13:32

Im not going to be telling them what they're doing is wrong. Doesnt stop me hating it.

Pity people couldnt have your attitude re foxhunting Will

It's a rather different situation though, isn't it? At least the bulls have a chance to get some revenge, and it's the bulls chasing the humans, not the humans goading a pack of dogs to do their dirty work for them.

Sorry if that offends, but that's just the way I see it (admittedly with media-tinted glasses).
