Running of The Bulls in Pamplona

The Running of the Bulls happen durring the San Fermin in Pamplona Spain (July 6 - 14). But, it is also held in other cities in other areas of Spain and France. The idea is to run in front of the bulls as they run through the city. Note that unlike Spanish bull fighting (with professionals), anyone can participate in the running of the bulls.

The Running 

The day starts off with town setting up barricades to direct which way the bulls move. Then the bulls are released. Sometimes the Bulls get left behind and feel distorted. That is when they are most dangerous because they will attack anyone they see.

Deaths 

Deaths are of coarse very likely and have happened before. Every year more then 200 people are at least injured. This could happen by being poked, or trampled.

I've put a lot of thought into it since, and I don't support the cause. But, I did run with the bulls two years ago in Pamplona and captured the experience with my Canon Elph.

That seems to be the thoughts of many Westerners. But, like any other holiday that has been occurring for many years it will go on.
