Running of the bulls, Pamplona Spain.

Has anyone here ever done this? They just ran as they had coverage of the 5 days of the bull run.

It looks scary as hell, and dangerous for both the runners and bulls. Does anyone know what happens to the bulls afterwards? They were talking about 2 or 3 of the bulls that ran back in 2009 and gored some runners that were running in this years event. So obviously some aren't killed. Do they bullfight them afterwards? If so, I can't imagine that it'll last much longer.

Stage 1 of the Tour de France. Let the bulls chase the cyclists until they get to the Pyrenees Mountains. Might get better ratings than watching paint dry.

The Bulls are fought in the ring afterward. Bulls that win are retired for stud. Bulls that lose, the meat is given to the poor.
