Bull got a neck thrust....just bad assed luck for the lad
..the inherent risk of running with an angry large horned male animal notwithstanding
RIP and Godspeed, and prayers for his mommy
risk, valor and all that testosterone laden romanticism sometimes has a high price
i’m very lucky i made it through that age

I agree that traditions like these should be preserved, but I think running with the bulls should be replaced by a safer alternative :
Mooning Festival

He should get a personal Darwin Award, except that Pamplona holds a permanent designation as a Darwin City.

The bishop in Pamplona should have decreed No Catholic Funeral for anyone killed in the running of the bulls—centuries ago.

I absolutely love Arrested Development. I’m one of those AD geeks who randomly throws out quotes. That series gets better each time you view it because there’s so many jokes that allude to future story lines. One of the best shows EVER!

Who would have suspected that running around with a bunch of agitated live bulls could be so dangerous?
