The Disturbing Sequence That Will Convince You To Never Go Running With The Bulls

The running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain at the Festival of San Fermin lasts for eight days. Each morning at 8 a.m., six fighting bulls are released as hundreds of people run along side of them for about a half of a mile. It is obviously very dangerous.

Today, three people were gored by the bulls, and three others were taken to the hospital with injuries according to the AP. An American tourist was gored in the stomach and had his spleen removed, a Spanish man was gored in the arm, and another 31-year-old Spanish man was gored twice in the groin and once in the leg.

This is a series of photos of the 31-year-old Spanish man being gored three times. He was rushed to the hosptial and underwent emergency surgery. Javier Sesma, hopital chief told the AP "The injuries are not as serious as one would have expected on seeing the televised footage," and that none of the injured taking to the hospital are in serious condition.

GOOD. Fucking idiots got what they deserved. Spanish need to sort their act out when it comes to animal cruelty.

You mess with the bulls, you get the horns.

 

[GK86]

Give those bulls awards.

OMG THE LAST PIC!!

 

[Leunam]

Didn't Evilore do this? Thought there was a picture of him with the red scarf or something.

 

[Divvy]

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Ha, wow some of those pictures. Don't really feel much sympathy for the guy though, that's the risk you take.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Thank God Rex Ryan survived.

 

[shinobi602]

I'm not happy people got hurt, but I hope this can dissuade people from doing dumbass shit like this with animals, especially bulls.

The bull spearing BS really pisses me off too.

 

[Mr Swine]

This happens more or less every year in Spain so I feel not so much sympathy for them

 

[Kid Ska]

Oh fuck...

 

[speedline]

The bull is put in a situation to fight for survival, and he will. Good for the bull.

Wow, that last pic is nuts!

 

[Tex117]

Bull Shit.

 

[entremet]

I lot of people do this run drunk as a skunk.

The bulls were running from Evilore iirc.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I think this is an awesome tradition but jesus getting gored like that must be fucking horrifying, they should know what they're dealing with when they go in so as much as it sucks it's kind of hard to really feel bad for them because they knew the risks.

Wasn't there also a tradition in one town of throwing a donkey off of a tower as well?

The tomato festival is pretty awesome though

 

[Bachner0000]

that bull just took his dignity, respect, and clothes away.

 

[HammerOfThor]

Very shocking news.

 

[Fari]

Anyone stupid enough to take part in this idiocy deserves everything that happens to them.

YOLO

But what about those poor tomatoes

Trauma doctor getting paid? I'm okay with this. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes to drive the Audi.

I would recommend some of you guys buying a motorcycle too. Stimulate the economy.

No.. it's really not. The bulls are panicked and enraged and there's a good chance people and the bulls themselves will be hurt. There is nothing positive in this event.

But what about those poor tomatoes

Tomatoes in their natural form are rank, they deserve to be destroyed

It was actually a goat, but I think it was banned. Anyway, here in Spain San Fermín is a festivity with a lot of tradition and whatever (and it actually gets a lot of international tourism), but personally I think its kind of meh, people claims its cultural heritage when at the end everyone and its mother is drunk like hell. Anyway I'm not very fond of any of this or the bull fighting -_- .

 

[childplease]

I laughed entirely too hard at that last pic.

The guys reaction + the skin being lifted with the bulls horns.

That shit slayed me man.

 

[MThanded]

oooohhh my gooddd at the last picture....

 

[EulaCapra]

Score 3 three for the bulls! If I had my way, I'd let like 150 bulls roam free and start a massacre there. You know, for cultural tradition.

 

[Alcotholic]

Hmm.... It's the running of the bulls. What else do you expect? This isn't really shocking.

 

[Nevasleep]

It's tradition and fun. Just have to accept the risks when you decide to run.

TV must be really bad over there.

A goat, it got baned in 2002.

There's another village that throws turkeys off the 35-meter bell tower. They do it because it "brings good luck" to the one that catches it, iirc.

 

[demon]

This is basically a Jackass bit posing as a national tradition. So dumb.

 

[daviyoung]

TV must be really bad over there.

Have you seen their soap operas?

 

[Sol..]

in the dick

IN! THE! DICK!

 

[cubicle47b]

Spain has some really weird but awesome traditions.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

in the dick

IN! THE! DICK!

Had it been me, the bull's horn would have broken.

 

[Grimm Fandango]

OMG THE LAST PIC!!

Yo dammmmmnnnn

 

[Manu]

Good.

I don't know what's dumber, the tradition itself or posts like the one above.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Hilarious pictures, his facial expressions.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

oh come on. that dude will be lucky to walk again without the worst limp or at all. CLASSIC

 

[Burli]

I still find it amazing how easily the horns pierce through skin and flesh, they're dull as fuck on top, must absolutely kill.

Here's my opinion; Everyone who takes part in these run deserves what they get, not only that, they should expect it. Grow up and realise you're not immortal and stop exploiting animals for entertainment.

 

[tuna on toast]

 

[Heretic]

What is it with them always losing their pants? Also, that last pic looks like Jagr

 

[Banjotanooki]

Went in expecting blood and gore.

Meh.

Idiots though.

 

[SneakyStephan]

oh come on. that dude will be lucky to walk again without the worst limp or at all. CLASSIC

Then he shouldn't run with bulls, this is stupidity on the level of riding a shopping cart off a flight of stairs.
