Just because something is tradition doesn't mean it's a good tradition.
You're not Ernest Hemingway and running with the bulls isn't poetic, romantic, or brave. It's cruel and appalling.
PETA and its use of hypocritical celebrities pretty much grates my last nerve, but I appreciate any fight against the running of the bulls and traditional bullfights.
In the run today:
"Some of the bulls fell and two ended up running on their own. One of those became disoriented, trying several times to turn around and go back toward the starting point. But herders waving sticks eventually guided it to the bull ring where the course ends.
Inside the ring one black bull fell down and stayed there for nearly a minute, as jubilant runners scampered about." AP/Yahoo.
Nice. Well done, jubilant scampering runners. Very brave.
And what happens in the bull ring where the course ends?
It's not pretty.
