Anybody ever try this? Come on Heather fess up/confess :)

Looks like they actually had a somewhat safe run:




Running of the bulls, humans causes only minor
injuries

July 11, 2005



PAMPLONA, Spain -- Despite a big crowd of runners on
the streets of Pamplona on Sunday, nobody was gored in
the fourth bull run at the annual San Fermin festival.

The run featured six massive bulls from the renowned
Miura stable. Early reports indicated the worst
injuries of the day came from falls and from
enthusiasts slamming each other into walls trying to
avoid the horns as they ran from a corral on the edge
of town to the bull ring in the center.

Three people, including Hans Hurt, 24, from Port Wing,
Wis., were treated for cuts and bruises, the San
Fermin festival press information center said.

Unusually, a bullfighter also ran with the bulls in
the morning. ''It's an evident risk,'' said Juan Jose
Padilla, who was due to perform in the bullring in the
afternoon, ''but it's also the realization of a
youthful dream.''

The runs continue daily through Thursday. The festival
dates to the late 16th century, though its roots reach
back to the era when Spain was first Christianized. It
gained worldwide fame in Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel
The Sun Also Rises. AP

Hey you think running with the bulls is bad Amos. Try fighting 52 bulls and killing them 4 instantly with one punch, and chopping off 42 horns with a knife hand strike. The greatest Karate Master and the toughest Martial Artist of all time: Masatatsu Oyama.

Geeze, Littledragon. I thought martial arts taught respect for lives of all kinds, even animals. To massacre like this for sport is disgusting, in my opinion.

Thanks for the article, Amos. :) I had a couple pics in the News Photos thread about this. Amazing what some people do for excitement, eh? :eek: :D

Smile dammit!
I don't like bullfighting anyway,and this was unnecessary. If the bulls had killed him,no doubt he's not so tough! The animals had no say either way.

And that was the reason Oyama stopped fighting the bulls. It was a way to test his empty hand Karate.

Either am I Heather. I am against it as well. I believe all life is equal, even if it is an ant. But if it is a spider that try's to bite me, that is a different story. :D
