Sounds like a p.e.t.a. snuff film.

Darwin seen wringing hands and grinning a toothy grin.

We should do that with our presidential candidates.

Torres said the bull charged the man, gored him and then stamped on his head, causing him "irreversible injuries." He said he had offered his condolences to the man's family, but would not cancel similar events scheduled for early Sunday.


Why would they cancel the other events? Their campaign to raise the local IQ is proving a success.

I wonder what they will have to do to this event before people stop doing it? Poison tipped horns and hoves? Pit traps? People shooting at anyone running? What will it take?

Here's a link to some pictures of Toro de fuego. Spaniards love it and it's a lot of fun. I don't know what fire insurance costs here, but it must be outrageous. They literally just run through city streets like that while grandma looks on approvingly....

"irreversible" injuries? Is that suppose to be a joke about the movie? If it is I can picture what his head looks like then.

Oops, here's the link

Video or it didn't happen

This seems to be the Spanish version of "Hey y'all! Watch this!" So, in other words, never and nothing. There will always be a market for Bubba, or in this case, Jose, to apply for Darwin awards.

Flaming horny bull.

That's what they said about the Inquisition, too.

Gatling gun tipped horns, with remote controlled triggers operated by spectators might dwindle the number of runners. But that might increase the number spectators.

That's idiotic. Those poor animals.

Human beings really are the ultimate douche-bags of the universe. The apocalypse can't happen fast enough.

read the comments on the site pure San Fransisco. hate humans love animals.

Flaming horns, for when regular horns are not painful enough...

Cheers, amigo!


Fear the Clam: That's what they said about the Inquisition, too.

Oh, c'mon.

It's not like anyone was expecting a Spanish Inquisition.

*jarring chord*

Er.... Nobody...um....

"Jose Vicente Torres said the accident happened when the man, who had traveled from Alboraia, about 70 kilometers (45 miles) to the south, tripped just as the bull was released."

This is not an accident. This is something that is more than likely to happen when you release 1 ton animals, with FLAMING HORNS, loose on your streets and let people run in front of them.

CHEST NUTS ROASTING ON AN OPEN FIRE...

It's good to see Spain embrace Darwinism so openly after centuries of Catholic rule.

Mess with the bull, and you get the horns. Mess with the bull's horns, and you're doubly farked.

Bravo, Toro! Take as many of the buggers out before they get you.

They gotta thin the herd somehow. Let's hope the bull got to him before he could breed.

I'm sure the bulls love it too. You do notice nobody is rooting for the humans in stories like this.

Sadly he didn't train. You gotta do your tire runs if you plan not to trip on anything, whether it being a little rock to a teenage kid who fell. Train those legs or maybe do anything else that might not get you killed for stumbling over your own feet.

This is Europe. They love these kinds of civilized activities while they look down their noses at the rest of the world.

/except the Muslim world. They kneel down to that

Do it armed with only a buck knife; no lances, barbs, or horses and I will concede to your "artistic talent".

Wearing a magenta cape while torturing an animal to death just makes you an especially well-dressed sadist.

Make it interesting at least..make all the douchbag assholes tie their legs together like a sack race, give the bull more of a chance to kill them, and remove some of the stupid "i have to run from a bull to prove I'm a man" morans out there.

/fark you all who enjoy this brutal "sport" You suck donkey dicks and ask for seconds.

Ed Finnerty: Need more roller skates. Bulls or runners - doesn't matter.

Find a way to work in roller skates and I'm sold.

Hey Senors. Please let me attach flaming balls of wax to your head. It would be so much fun for me.

i like th cut of your jib, sailor.

I've always thought that bullfighting should be allowed, however 1. You don't get to mess with the bull ahead of time. The bull gets to go in healthy and fine. and 2. If you mess up, no one's coming in to save you. You can run and try to get out of the bull pen, but no one's allowed in the ring once the match starts. If you get trampled to death that's your own decision.

Irreversible injuries?

Can't imagine...

wait. Yes I can and not only could it be painful but disgusting!

A tourist visiting Mexico City went and watched a bullfight. Afterwards he went looking for a resturant.
Most of the places close by were busy, so he kept searching. He found a little quiet place that was nearly empty and sat down at a fine table. He ordered the special of the day and recieved two very large meatballs. He found them very delicous as well as filling. He inquired about them to the waitress. She explained that after the bullfights, the parts of the bulls are sold to resturants. The little resturant that he found could only acquire the bull's testicles. He was very surprised, yet he couldn't complain about the wonderful way they were prepared. He happily paid and tipped and was on his way; remembering the unusual dish.
A year later he happen to be in Mexico City and decided to revisit the little resturant. He went in and ordered the dish again. To his surprise the meatballs were much smaller this time. They tasted just as well, yet couldn't understand the size difference. He asked the waitress and she started to explain like she had done before. He stopped her short and asked what about the size. Oh, she said, sometimes the bull wins.

And if the bull wins, the matador gets roasted and served to the bull.

I still think bull fighting is kind of cruel, although having had to chase those f*ckers on big hills and off roads a few times cured me of a lot of my sympathy for them (the ones who will jump over a barbed wire fence because they're feeling the spring 'call of the wild' are the worst), but the whole concept of setting any animal on fire makes me want to let the critter chase the person who did it down a narrow alley with a dead end. If you can walk out of there on your own after that, fine, you get to live (or at least seek medical attention). If not, too bad, you made your bed...
