watching the running of the bulls from the balcony

Revellers run on Estafeta Street as people look on from the balconies during the run of the Alcurrucen fighting bulls at the San Fermin festival, in Pamplona, northern Spain, Tuesday, July 7. Thrill seekers sprinted through Pamplona in a swift and relatively clean start to the running of the bulls. No one was gored on Tuesday, but four people were hospitalized with bumps, bruises or scrapes.

Participants rin in front of Alcurrucen fighting bulls on the first day of the San Fermin bull run on July 7, in Pamplona, northern Spain. On each day of the festival six bulls are released at 8:00 a.m. to run from their corral through the narrow, cobbled streets of the old town over an 850-meter (yard) course. Ahead of them are the runners, who try to stay close to the bulls without falling over or being gored.

Does anyone else find this whole thing an inhumane and brutal travesty? I find it disgusting.

Frankly, this activity is the most brutal and non-sense event that I've seen in my life. Honestly, what's the point of being chased by a bull and running on the street?

Indeed. Too much testosterone? Males trying to prove their manliness by acting like idiots, again? I guess it's a way to clean out the gene pool a little bit.

why are you talking trash about peoples beliefs and values? they run with the bulls for the patron saint of Navarre, San Fermin and so they gain respect for their family name. they don't just do it for proving their manliness.
