How many people are gonna die for this? Its a brutal spectator sport. They got rid of the ritual in which a goat is lynched off the side of a tower so I think its time this was retired.

It didn't occur to me that those barbarians may want to kill the tigers, too. I hope someday this brutal form of idiocy will end. And yes, people do jump out of planes and bungee jump and do all sorts of crazy things. But they CHOOSE to do it, and unless something goes wrong, nobody is going to be killed at the end of it. And am I totally evil for relishing each report of some knucklehead who gets gored at pamplona? The bull is probably fighting for his life here! I answered tigers, but just tongue-in-cheek.

I live in a country (Spain is our neighbour btw) where bullfighting is still allowed, even though more and more people are against it. The excuse of tradition and culture can no longer be used to perpetuate these barbaric practices! Culture should be a positive thing, not something which involves torturing or abusing animals. And the bulls, contrary to those imbecile humans, are not there of their own free will. According to your line of reasoning, throwing Christians to the lions shouldn't also have been banned, nor public executions for that matter! I say bring back gladiators fighting in an arena - I would like to see if those brave 'men' and 'women' would be so willing to jump into an arena and fight another human to death!!! Humans... I wish all of those who go see the 'Running of the Bulls' would die an agonizing death!!! Savages!!! :) ;) :) @ mekesha pryer and rick…

I feel a need to comment on this tradition. You know what many people in Spain will say that traditions are important to continue because these are what make up a countries heritage. I find this great if it does not involve torturing and killing animals for fun. I personally could care less about what this part of my countries Heritage. This is just terrible and there is no point to it but to test some idiots massive ego out. Later they put the bulls in a ring against torturing spears and then when it is exhausted they spear it in the back... Yeah this is nothing to be proud of or to celebrate. This is an embarrassment and I am ashamed that my country still participates in such a foolish tradition. Since I am Spanish … born in Spain … I feel a need to comment on this tradition.
