I can't believe in this time and age people still practice this.

The running of the bulls (San Fermin) is not as violent as bull fighting and I think the bull actually has the opportunity to get back at all the sadists who torture them, but it should not be allowed.

I even heard they have another festivity where they throw live goats from hillsides. As an animal lover, and love for life in general, for any creature, I despise this.

Sorry, some traditions need to go... stoning women and public hangings are gone from the civilized world (in part)... what is the world waiting for to ban this type of behavior?

(p.s. look at the beautiful picture of that bull I posted- it's not mine, I grabbed it from the internet, but what a beautiful creature!)
