deuces wild Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 MADRID (AFP) - The annual "running of the bulls" in the northern Spanish town of Pamplona could get some serious competition this year, in the form of a rival run by naked humans protesting cruelty to animals.The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) group, which has protested against the event in the past, even announced that it was asking the town authorities to replace the traditional bull-chase with its "running of the nudes."The nine-day San Fermin festival, due to start on July 6, traditionally involves hundreds of runners, including many tourists, trying to outrace a herd of bulls, who chase them throught the town's narrow streets in a tradition that goes back centuries.But PETA, which last year unleashed several protesters wearing nothing but fake horns and sandals into the streets of Pamplona, said it wants to turn the 'Running of the Nudes' into the official event this year to protest cruelty against animals.http://uk.news.yahoo.com/050322/323/fesc7.htmlWhat a bunch of bull! PETA - People Eating Tasty Animals :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurdy Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Sorry James,But I'm not quite clear about your post.Are you saying that the bull-run is not cruel to animals or that it's cruel to to the animal-rights protesters?PETA - People Eating Tasty AnimalsWe don't have PETA in this country - is that what the acronym really stands for or is it a silly joke?Where do you stand?Are you in favour of Spanish customs or not?

The internal injuries were fairly horrific ........It's great to see the bulls winning a few. As with all blood so called sports, the animal has NO choice in the matter. So if the animal wins a few GREAT. I always enjoy seeing a picture of someone flying over a fence, when their horse pulls up quickly during a fox hunt.
