Bull goes Crazy and injures 40 in Spain.
That's a shame.



http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/2010/08/19/2010-08-19_bull_goes_crazy_and_hops_into_stands_injuring_40_people_during_bullfight_in_spai.html

A 1,100-pound bull hopped over a fence and went wild in the stands, trampling spectators Wednesday in Spain.

When the rampage was over, 40 people were injured, including a 10-year-old boy who was sent to intensive care for injuries caused by the bull reportedly falling on him.

The bull had twice tried to enter the 3,500 person crowd before his successful third attempt.

"I saw that the animal had jumped and, after staying stuck on the fence for a few seconds, it came over. Then there was chaos ... There was stomping, pushing, shrieks, blows," one of the injured spectators told the Daily Telegraph.

The bull was killed once it was brought under control.

1. Good for the bull.
He was going to be tortured and killed anyway, might as well try to take some of the bastards with him.

2. I always get a huge smile on my face
when I see these stories. Not that I wish death on these people, but it's too bad nobody died. Fingers crossed for widespread maiming though.

4. Well said, lads.
Anybody who likes to see an animal tortured then killed can be rubbed off the face of this earth.

9. This was apparently a no-kill form of a bullfightt - although terrorizing the bull
for pleasure isn't all that much better...

3. I saw a bullfight when I was 9...
it was absolutely horrible and I've never forgotten it. To consider it "sport" is even worse. It's no place for children.

5. Go, bull!
It's a shame that a small boy got hurt, but really? Who takes their kids to see blood "sports" like this anyways? Go, bull. Maybe if this happens enough, they'll finally stop torturing and killing bulls for sport, tradition be damned. Aside from the young lad, all these people were complicit and deserved whatever they got from the bull; they were cheering a far worse fate for the animal.

6. Anyone who goes to see this vicious, cruel inhumane "sport"
takes their chances.
