Bull Jumps Into Stands in Mexico City

MEXICO CITY - A half-ton bull named Pajarito, or "Little Birdy," jumped into the stands during a bullfight, injuring several spectators before it was killed.

Officials said Monday they planned to reinforce Mexico City's most famous bullring after the bull leaped into the stands on Sunday, landing on spectators who tried to scatter as the animal ran through the aisles.

"We need to take preventative measures to avoid that a situation of this nature happens again," Mayor Alejandro Encinas said, adding that Mexico City officials were meeting with specialists to determine the best way to reinforce the stadium.

The bull easily cleared the wall around the bullring and a second, higher fence as it crashed into the stands.

Eventually one of the bullfight participants crawled up into the stands and stabbed the animal to death.

9. Well, since there's no such thing as letting a bull live during or
after a fight no matter what kind of fight it puts up in the name of entertainment, I'd say he did pretty damn well for himself.

Fuel Air Explosives over bullfight stadiums!

6. I saw this on the news this morning
Any wonder the big guy did this?

I say lets make it a fair fight... tape down opposable thumbs, on the bullfighters and make them crawl around on all fours. Lets see how well they do under those circumstances.

7. I'm sorry those folks got hurt, but sometimes karma just happens.
I'm also sorry for the bull. At least he's no longer a part of this barbaric practice that some would call "tradition" or "sport" in spite of what it truly is.
