SPAIN: Bull Turns Tables And Charges Into Spectator Stands, 30 Injured

*Link leads to video*

A young man stopped at a local restaurant after a day of roaming around in Mexico.

While sipping his tequila, he noticed a sizzling, scrumptious-looking platter being served at the next table.

It looked good.

It smelled good.

He asked the waiter, "What is that you just served?"

The waiter replied, "Ah senor, you have excellent taste! Those are bull's testicles from the bull fight this morning. A delicacy!"

The visitor, though momentarily daunted, said, "What the heck, I'm on holiday down here! Bring me an order!"

The waiter replied, "I am so sorry senor. There is only one serving per day because there is only one bull fight each morning. If you come early tomorrow and place your order, we will be sure to save you this delicacy!"

The next morning, the man returned, placed his order, and then that evening was served the one and only special delicacy of the day.

After a few bites, and inspecting the contents of his platter, he called to the waiter and said, "These are delicious, but they are much, much smaller than the ones I saw you serve yesterday!"

The waiter shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Si, Senor. Sometimes the bull wins."

4. The rule is if the bull goes into the stands you can keep it if you catch it. I think.

7. And yet, the later kill the bull for...being a bull.

They taunt the poor thing into trying to attack the matador, but yet, when it finally gets the upper hand, it gets put down.

I will never understand that.

On a side note: kind of how the rich treat the poor.

On count of being a bull, and one count of accessory to being a bull!

12. People need to stop being assholes by taking their kids to these things
That aside, I always root for the bull.

It's just pathetic that the kids are there to have to see it.

My post was just a...social experiment. I'm very curious to see how people here react.."innocent" children vs "innocent" animals.

But really....I don't much like children or cows. :D

16. Those children, moments before, were cheering for the torture of the bull.
It's an object lesson they won't soon forget. Let's hope they take it to heart.
