An Australian woman is in serious condition after being gored by a bull on the last day of Pamplona's historic running of the bulls festival. According to an official report, the woman suffered fractured rubs and damage to her right lung. Her condition was described as "grave" by the regional government, which hosts the festival.
This year there are a total of 206 people reported injuries with 5 seriously injured in the final ritual running of the bulls at the Festival of San Fermin.
- Australian woman gored in chest on final day of running with the bulls
- American injuries include spleen damage and "rectal perforation"
- Spaniard and Irishman seriously hurt in 200-person, two bull pile-up
- At least 200 runners sustain bull-related injuries during nine-day festival
As part of the nine-day festival, which celebrates San Fermin, patron saint of Pamplona and the Navarra region, human thrill seekers run through the streets of Pamplona amid groups of six charging bulls. The runners will drink all night as encouragement for them to run with the bulls at 8am.
According to various reports, over the last century there were about 15 runners have been killed at the running of the bulls.
So what drives them to risk their lives? Courage, madness, plain stupidity or drunk?For me, they are wasting their precious human lives while torturing the bulls... this is plain stupid act. As for the organiser and the local government, I would labelled them as "Greedy" because they are risking the lives of the public/ tourists and the bulls. They are equivalent to criminals, murderers...
