My dad left on tuesday to go Run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. He ran today and he said it is awesome (i wanna try it). It is cool because he brought his camera and is going to film videos of him running (which i will try to post when he gets back). So i just thought it is pretty cool. Do you know anyone who has ran before?

awsome!
i would get trampled ^^

a friend of mine went once with a friend of hers and her cousin and he almost got hit by the bull and broke an arm cause he fell over or something like that, and my friend and her friend ended up going into this old ladys house they didnt know cause they didnt want to run any more hahahah

personally i hate it, i dont see the point of it really..

awsome!

haha yeah that would be like the easiest way to get owned by doing it

That would suck to get gorged up the ass.

haha yeah i told him if he was going to get gored, not to get gored up the butt

I saw Richard Hammond do it on Top Gear. Looked ****ing scary, deffinately not for me.

Plus i kind of think its cruel to the bulls.

I want to do it, I know no bull will catch me cause I'll be pushing people down to slow the bulls down but I could always jump the fence if they get close.

Thats awesome that your dad is doing that.

biggest adrenaline rush ever. ever. ever...im doing that when i get older...pack up the monsters, and hit up spain

Cruel to the bulls? All they do is run at the people that are running away. They have like a 1% chance of getting hurt 99% is the people.

Running on the paved roads hurts there feet and makes them fall alot.

Only time I seen them fall was when they tripped over someone that fell. But thats something I don't get how can we tell what hurts them? Thats like science saying our eyes see everything upside down but our brain flips the image (how do we know?), dogs see everything in black, grey, and white (how do we know?), cats can see in the dark (how the **** do we know).

I don't think that running on paved ground hurts the bull, how can something like that hurt something thats close to a ton of muscle?

I wouldnt think the actual running would hurt them but since the "hoof" has no grip or traction i could see them falling alot easier then say on grass. So if they fell it would hurt them but i doubt the actual running hurts

The running is at least better than the Bullfight in the ring, that is much much worse. they have it in a ring and this man called the Torero wave a bright red cape at the bull so it'll charge and he sort of plays around making the bull run, then he puts some spears into its back and still makes it charge with the spears still in, and finally kills it putting a sword into its shoulders or something like that not sure how it goes.

but basically they make it charge and play with it while its suffering and in the end they kill it.
thats worse than the running they have in pamplona

lol i would not have the energy or the balls for that.

Bullfighting is tradition in Spain, and won't ever go away, regardless of whether or not people think it is cruel.
I haven't been to Pamplona, but I would love to visit during bullfighting season, and definitely would run with the bulls.


And Ibanez, science knows these things because they are studied. The human eye is studied, as is the Cats and the Dogs. Science doesn't just pull something out of it's ass and as believe it.

Exactly what I was just going to say. They can tell by certain features in the eyes of those animals.

Thats like science saying our eyes see everything upside down but our brain flips the image (how do we know?)

We know because of the way light bounces from the object into our eyes. What we see is not what hits the iris, but what hits the retina. When you are looking at an object, the light coming from the top of that image down toward and into your eye will actually hit the bottom of your retina, while the light off the bottom of the object goes up into your eye right to the top of the retina.

That's my little science lesson of the day :tongue:.

Oh, and I really don't see the reason to do this running, I'd rather not risk getting my ass gorged.

DO NOT WANT

I actually had this on my list of things I wanted to do, but then I realized that for safety's sake it should be in the maybe's so I can complete the rest of the list

Holy **** the bull is attacking K-Fed......go for the nuts and the face you dumb bull!

^^^ Dude you realise the horn is all the way up his leg don't you? That must ****ing kane. It hurts just looking at it.

That matador,
(Killer in spanish)

gets points by stabbing the bull and then ending it with a sword through the shoulder/neck.

then the bull is drug around the ring, with the spears in it's back, by horses.

Probably one of the cruelest things to watch,
but it's entertainment.

Yeah people seem to find that really amusing and watch it with real passion.

I still fail to understand how that can be

Holy **** the bull is attacking K-Fed......go for the nuts and the face you dumb bull!

how could he make that face any worse

wow... i didnt know that was still around! sounds insane... to intense for me :D
