Eight gored as bulls run scared at Pamplona festival

MARGARET NEIGHBOUR


EIGHT runners were gored and at least six others injured yesterday during the sixth running of the bulls at this year’s San Fermin festival in northern Spain.

Runners were upended from behind, or trampled, along the 850-metre (930-yard) route from corral to bull ring that animals and runners covered in little more than three minutes.

The most dangerous moments came at the end. Dozens of runners clogged the narrow entrance to the bull ring, falling over one another and blocking the passage.

The dozen fighting bulls and generally docile steers - themselves being chased by hundreds of runners - had little choice but to run over or through the fallen crowd.

One bull lifted a man by its horns, then repeatedly raked him and others on the ground before it was distracted and walked into the ring.

Well hahaha. You're running from bulls and don't think you just might get gored? Too funny. And yes, if someone died, it's still funny. I mean c'mon, they're running from pissed off bulls w/ big-assed horns. Do the math. Somebody's gettin' gored, right? EDIT: It's not like this is the first year for this. Look at the tape from last year you feckin' dolts. Yep. They got gored too.
It was a good day for the Bulls!!
It would be ideal if the mortality rate for that event was 100%. Would help Darwin out.
I don't care how drunk I was I still wouldn't do it. Maybe they are just crazy.
those bulls are gonna be slaughtered...I don't blame them for taking down a few on their way.

+1...Eight is too small of a number...I'd like to see the number of people gored much higher...
Wow. I thought my opinion my be harsh, but you guys are making me feel all warm inside. :spank <--not pertinent to this post, but I wanted to post it.
HAHHAA>...... idiots....
Thats just nuts, people runnin from Bulls in a narrow street. Yeah, sign me up for that one. LMAO

I always like watchin it on tv to see how many get gored, go bulls.

Have you guys heard of the other thing they do with the throwing of Tomatos? You are supposed to hurl tomatos at people as much as possible. Saw some peeps on tv get nailed in the face, was funny as shit. LMAO
i have a feeling i'd be the guy on the side of the road, tripping people that run by. im sure the expressions on their faces would be priceless.
