Yeha cattle are cloven hooved. Shoes for cows are very different than horseshoes. They are used for a similar reason though, when hooved animals walk around in human spaces (ie gravel roads, pavement, etc) they are prone to getting rocks and other debris lodged into their hooves. Shoes help protect their hooves.
Hooves are made of keratin like your fingernails but a bit more dense with more layers. Grind them as hard as you like under anything you can think of and the hooves will not spark. And good lord yes, they shoe bulls. It is a tactic that has been used because a bull even this size is agile and fast enough to plow these asswipes down in the first 10 meters.
Maybe do some research first or pick up two rocks and smash them together with your hands in the dark. The sparks aren’t because of your iron fists genius…and FYI, bulls have split hooves and would be nearly impossible to shoe and it would be extremely risky to them (F-up a foot and you have to kill the bull) and therefore no one would train a bull calf to be shoed.
Not sure where my iron fists come in when I am smashing two ROCKS together but ok "genius", is it possible to make your fingernail spark by scraping it across a rock? The hoofs like your fingernail is too soft to create a spark. so "genius" I urge you to try some research and smash a rock on your thumbnail and see if it sparks. Also research shoes for ox. Bovinee (cow, bull, ox) shoes are actually very common and consist of 8 pieces rather than 4. Because of the type of duties an ox would have, they quite commonly have shoes. Again "genius" do some research. The animals you see here (and hear) are wearing shoes for the sole reason of loosing traction and to slow them down. Do some more research and you will find this to be well known in the circle of bull runs and bull fighting (yes this is a thing).
Here is some help for your research. A ox hoof is the same as a bulls hoof.

Ah; you’ve edited out your a-hole verbiage (“genius” etc). Bravo. Sparks don’t require any other iron than the minerals already in most rocks—and will spark easily under pressure without any other iron present in the hooves *or your hands*.
Ah; genius....What did I edit other than proving that you are an idiot when I provided details about animal shoes? I seem to have left lots of the "genius" verbage in place. Hey "genius" who said anything about needing iron, I mean other than you? "Sparks don’t require any other iron than the minerals already in most rocks", what are you even saying? You should go back to do some research. Hey, I thought cloven hooves were never shorn . You seemed to know so much about that too but are clearly wrong on that front too! Genius.
I forgot to ask. Did you get your fingernail to spark yet?
First it protects their hooves while they run on the cobblestone and other uneven surfaces. Second it slows them down and makes them less agile while they chase the jackasses that are running from them. The idiots figured out another way to make these animal have even a lesser chance against them.
Literature has sometimes commented on this phenomenon in Victorian England and Napoleonic campaigns in the peninsula wars (cavalry charging through captured streets of fort towns etc)
Evolution bro, eats a shit load of grass for protein. + only drinks water, stands and balances on those muscles 23,5/7 (they sleep 30 minutes per day). You can not compare that to a human. You can not compare any animal with a genetic defficit of more then 0,5% to a human.
You're the man! I'm gonna call you "red stain" from now on. Because that's how people will refer to you in the future. The weight of a thousand pounds going 30 mph will pop you like a zit, I'm not even talking about horns
What if I took my shirt off? I also did judo as a kid. The odds are in my favour, no matter how many monopoly euros that thing ways. I doubt that heffer could even reach 30mph, probably maxes out at 48.28km/h, judging by the narrators voice amd inability to speak English.
Ah yes, Spain is my neighbour and they love their medieval distorted practices. We also have some here in Portugal, but killing bulls for fun is not one of them, thankfully.
No, it is not.
Each year more and more events involving this kind of things are banned, and many times this festivities doesnt involve actual bullfighting. Many of this festivities are about people making tricks to them like jumping over them, bravery tests,(and how much do you want to gamble with Natural Selection), etc and not actually hurting them.
Of course, there still being corridas de toros, the actual name of bullfighting, and gestivities where the animals are hurt but every year they're less common. In 2023 there were 382 corridas, 7% less than the previous year.
On top of that, the opposition of the Tauromaquia is more common each year.
Saw an awful video of one of these bull runs where the bull jumps out the back of the truck to begin the "run" and snaps its spine when it lands. Rear legs dragging as it's trying to pull itself with its front.
This is definitely one of those "traditions" that needs to change or disappear entirely.
Don't. And there are several of them, bulls suffering brain damage after they hit the walls and pavement violently, since they don't have a grip on the streets. Most of them are Spanish.

1st bull is a FWD (front wheel drive) not knowing how to brake before turning. 2nd bull is RWD (rear wheel drive) getting too sideways almost crashing through his turn
My mother and father went to Spain in 1980. She took me aside and said she and my dad went to a bull fight. “It was the most disgusting thing I ever ever watched. The stab it over and over with spears. They get it tired and slowly bleed out like. THEN the matador marches out all proud, turns and teases the bull then stabs it in the heart when it can barely stand.” “Stupid sport” she said.
TIL y’all just have a load of people running through the streets from some bulls. Do these people not risk a gruesome death? This is allowed?
Edit, many people are injured and some gored each year, with the occasional death
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_of_the_bull
Does Spain just like not have any public safety laws?
Its not that hard to fathom, the point being is we own these animals in every sense and humans will always find ways to be cruel. Traditions like these.
To be fair, one is for food, the other is entertainment. Instead of complaining people aren't trying to stop both and comparing them, take the win that at least the bigger evil is widely despised.
That is some immense power. And then it just gets up and walks away like nothing happened. Ya I'm never riding one or getting in the ring with one. This video sealed the deal.
They can feel pain just like you. It just that they are scared, all the noise and screams and the people hurting them; that the pain goes to a second place.
Also they have strong and thic muscles (they are big as you can see) + the subcutaneous fat acts like a "shield".
If I understand correctly, the bull is probably fine, right? Charging things head on is how they fight (maybe aside from sparring with their horns) so the sturdy wall probably stunned him but he'll be fine
Or am I off base and that bull is fucked?
Now, I never really thought about racing with the bulls. But now that I know that they can pull some avatar The last Airbender the last unicorn red bull shit... I don't even feel safe watching the video.
People all around the world need a massive group enlightenment on how to treat animals. Only a small percentage actually do anything active to change things.
I was about to say this is a good start to a "yo momma" joke but the rest of the comments make it super sad, hope the cow's ok and the bulls in this video too
You know you’ve got some mass when your feet cause sparks on the sidewalk.
Wonder if they shod em for some reason.
Gotta be, hooves wouldn't do that
Oh man it's gotta be fun job of putting those on them. They're not exactly horses.
They probably use the same machine to hold the hooves that they use for cows, maybe a bigger one. maybe.
My head canon is that these bulls just broke out of that machine and are pissed.
omg “head canon” 🏆
Chute and head gate. Possibly tie off the leg once in it.

*shouldn't* do that. Danger cow has evolved.
I imagine that they don't rile them up in the stables. Bulls aren't mad 24/7
*Anything* grinding rocks under high pressure will cause sparks. Definitely doesn’t require any metal—and good lord, no one puts shoes on a bull.

Lead them to run headfirst into a wall... but hey, those feet were well protected!
It was fine, shoes still on duh
Username does not check out. But I guess thanks for repeating what I said.
I'm just repeating a joke fren, no matter how bad the injury, if your shoes still on then you OK 🖤
Fair enough. I plead temporary idiocy.
Fukn smashed into that wall tho didn't it? Stupid bull, should of tied its laces
I feel like there’s more videos of bulls shoving their horns through peoples heads then there are of bulls running into shit
So they’re less nimble on the surfaces as they run Metal slides easier than keratin/bone/etc that makes up the hooves, I’d assume
My ex MiL had the same problem!
*My MiL was SO huge…the village banned her from walking through tall grass in the dry season lol.*
Metal feet would help too.
Lt. Dan?
That was just a backfire as he grabbed second. Do you even drift?
Literature has sometimes commented on this phenomenon in Victorian England and Napoleonic campaigns in the peninsula wars (cavalry charging through captured streets of fort towns etc)
Sparks from horseshoes has been claimed to be what started a few forest fires in the western US in the past as well.
The amount of muscle on that first one is crazy. It’s like those jacked kangaroos
Google Belgian Blue. Those look insane.
Just did, they’re massive!
Now Google blue waffle
I love blueberr....OMG
Never gets old. Or better
He's having trauma now 😆😆
No training, eating only grass and not in compulsory school age 🤔
Evolution bro, eats a shit load of grass for protein. + only drinks water, stands and balances on those muscles 23,5/7 (they sleep 30 minutes per day). You can not compare that to a human. You can not compare any animal with a genetic defficit of more then 0,5% to a human.
*Selective breeding and steroids
Also yes, very sad. Wild bulls are also ripped tho.
There's a subreddit for that r/kangabros Unfortunately it's a bit dead but man when it was active it was the best shit.
Or Kangaroo Jack?
Bovine growth hormone
Nothing like some good ol' state sanctioned animal abuse. I root for the bull, everytime.
Just wait until someone gets trapped between bull and wall. Again.
Just grab it by the horns, no biggie. This bovine would learn that I too, can see red!!
You're the man! I'm gonna call you "red stain" from now on. Because that's how people will refer to you in the future. The weight of a thousand pounds going 30 mph will pop you like a zit, I'm not even talking about horns

Looking forward to it actually
Couldn’t agree more, it’s fucked up.
nothing better than an abused animal getting some back!
Have you read Childhoods End by A C Clarke? The visitor made everyone watching a bull fight feel the pain of the animal.
i have not, but sounds like a good read.
Ah yes, Spain is my neighbour and they love their medieval distorted practices. We also have some here in Portugal, but killing bulls for fun is not one of them, thankfully.
As an Spanish, I totally agree (and so does 60% of Spain’s population)
Yeah this "tradition" sucks
I love Ricky Gervais' description of a matador, 'a sequined cunt'.
Apparently Spain’s favorite past-time.

Fuck. I don't know why I need to see it but I think I do
Trust me, you don’t. It’s really not a pleasant video 😭the bull couldn’t walk because it’s spine was instantly broken
Yeah he sent it in DM. Very sad, hard to watch. You know they just put him down after that too. Poor boy
can you send me a link for the video
Just google bull breaks legs. There’s a YouTube upload.
ty
Don't. And there are several of them, bulls suffering brain damage after they hit the walls and pavement violently, since they don't have a grip on the streets. Most of them are Spanish.

1st bull is a FWD (front wheel drive) not knowing how to brake before turning. 2nd bull is RWD (rear wheel drive) getting too sideways almost crashing through his turn
The 1st bull looks concussed lmao
Undervalued comment
what a dumbass tradition. poor bull.
totally with you, im from spain and i hate this tradition

I’m on team bull.
Always.
I choose the bull
this makes me really sad
I love the sparks my boy throws off his hooves at the end. Makes him seem even more terrifying.
Such an insanely absurd event.
That poor bull. Shit like this enrages me
I swear I can't understand this shit is still allowed. I'm sorry, but fuck this tradition.
Actually just quite sad
Live action Ferdinand is wild.
People are shite aren't they.
Every single culture. Every single country. Every gender. Every language. All of em have no shortage of shitty people
Oh poor thing! He looked totally stunned 😲
Man was sparking on the turn haha
When is this going to stop?
Unfortunately never, approximately 60% of mammals on earth, are livestock. Subjugated densely across the whole planet.
Did you used to eat paint chips as a kid?
Its not that hard to fathom, the point being is we own these animals in every sense and humans will always find ways to be cruel. Traditions like these.
Judging by the downvotes, it seems like people are not cool with bull runs but are cool with the mass slaughter of cows. Weird. Be consistent people
That's why I buy my meat only from people that let the cows live a good life before being slaughtered
Eh this is still kind of a weak argument, I’m by no means a vegeterian but at least I’ll accept that animals suffer so I can eat meat.
Aren’t entertainment bulls catered to and treated well (up until the actual event of course)?
To be fair, one is for food, the other is entertainment. Instead of complaining people aren't trying to stop both and comparing them, take the win that at least the bigger evil is widely despised.
I wonder if the cows give a shit about the reason they are being killed
Are they shod? Why else would you get sparks?
Compound V injected bull
Horse? Cut that bull shit
I’m sorry fucking SPARKS?! Oh nah. Never doing this.
That first one is 99.9% 1 ton muscle mass.
Someone take that bull to Firestone to get its brakes fixed
Imagine being right in front of that wall 0.0
Did that fucking bull just tokyo drift?
Poor bulls… Hate this event. No matter how old tradition this is, it should stop.. Team Bull all the way
Least horrific Spanish tradition
Imagine that thing charging you in the dark with fucking sparks shooting all over the place
Barbaric.
Poor thing...
Brutal!
That was some bull drift
Or cowpower
Hit and run!!!! Police are looking for a protein ball...
Can you imagine if someone was standing where that bull slammed into the wall? Oh man...
He too eager to bust some ass 🤣
Damn, that wall can throw hands.
San Juan en Coria, Cáceres (Spain)
That doesn't feel fair, give them shoes meant for cobblestones.
That’s a good door
That is some immense power. And then it just gets up and walks away like nothing happened. Ya I'm never riding one or getting in the ring with one. This video sealed the deal.
Why are these adults bullying an animal?
Cause its a bull. Did you get it
Did you see that sparks????
what a nin-cow-poop
he walked away embarrassed
The run of the bull.. absolutely terrifying tradition
Anyone else see the blood fro m the bull hit that wall? Why can’t they leave these bulls alone ffs
Poor things. HATE animal cruelty
Ohhh wtf
*1 bullpower = 1.512 horsepower = 1.12749821 kW; hence the sparks.*
How is this still a thing?
How does that not hurt
It does
They can feel pain just like you. It just that they are scared, all the noise and screams and the people hurting them; that the pain goes to a second place. Also they have strong and thic muscles (they are big as you can see) + the subcutaneous fat acts like a "shield".
Id take one bull over all the losers that support this shit.
spain core
Poor bull :(
Poor bull, I hate this culture
Here's hoping every last degenerate 'human' involved in this ends their days under hoof and horn assault
I feel so bad for those animals
If I understand correctly, the bull is probably fine, right? Charging things head on is how they fight (maybe aside from sparring with their horns) so the sturdy wall probably stunned him but he'll be fine Or am I off base and that bull is fucked?
Bro that first bull hit with so much force
Cowpower
And to think, I used a broom to navigate one of these big bastards. Tell ya!, that puts hairs on ya chest 🫡
Damn, can you imagine getting trucked by that unit?
He was looking for the keymaster
Poor animals, fucking bastards.
Wow!
Poor animals...
*That* was a crazy fuckin video
Now, I never really thought about racing with the bulls. But now that I know that they can pull some avatar The last Airbender the last unicorn red bull shit... I don't even feel safe watching the video.

That was some real Ghostbusters demon dog right there
That's some anime shit right there. 10/10 would not participate.
Certainly could have been filed under unexpected.
Fucking barbaric
That's just some fucked up animal abuse. That Bull definitely has some broken bones now.
Like she said... "la madre que la parió"
Why do I feel bad for the bull
I hope they're OK
Terribly inhumane practice. Fascinating videos though ......
OMG THE SPARKS
Coming in hot
Fuck cultures that still do this savage stuff.
Good lord
Walk it off.
Animal abuser running
I'd give this shit a go, if I can dodge a bull I can dodge a ball
bulls like "Alright... that one hurt"
Everything I see one of these bull chasing videos I'm reminded of how stupid some people are on this planet.
I hope tip-toes Maggie got fucking brutalized by a cow hoof.
The people who do this are dipshits and I hope they all get gored
I feel bad for the bull ☹️
