Photos from the Running of the Bulls

Recently the “Running of the Bulls took place in Pamplona, Spain, and this year they have had the most injuries they have had in recent years. A dozen people were injured within the first three days of the 8 day festival. There were also 3 people who were severely gored.

The festival, which dates back to 1591, has an incredibly dangerous track record. Since 1924 15 people have died from bull gorings and countless others have been injured.

Mashable compiled the following set of photos that shows a side of the running that we don’t often see.

  1. I only came here to say that this barbaric tradition, as well as the actual bullfighting, need to be stopped, and the bulls be retired. What kind of person is entertained by these spectacles. I root for the bulls. Every participant deserves to be badly gored.
