Don’t count us among those who have this particular Hemingway-esque activity on our “bucket list” or “list of 7-10 things to do before I die” because while what happened to the gentleman on the right is way out of the statistical norm, we are not taking any chances.
Anyway, the annual running of the bulls is currently taking place over in Pampalona, Spain where 9 people have been injured (no fatalities) in the first day of the running and in a new twist, animal rights activists will be getting in on the act.
Campaigners against bullfighting are planning to step up activities in an effort to mobilise the majority of Spaniards who claim to have no interest in the sport. Two groups, Equanimal and Igualidad Animal, have invaded Spanish bullrings for the first time, in a new tactic that they intend to repeat throughout the bull-fighting season. Previous protests have been limited to placard-waving outside the bullrings.
We have no reason to take these activists seriously until they enter the ring while the bull is still standing. Suffer for your cause!
Fun!
