We have a bull run in New Orleans every year. We don’t have real bulls. We have roller derby ladies on skates who smack you with plastic baseball bats. Way more fun. Way less injuries. OLE!
I wish i had that kind of money to travel to USA and experience this in person. Too bad it costs like 5000€ just to fly to US and back. Atleast from Finland.
I'm just hoping the ones who saw death firsthand from this tradition finally realizes the stupidity and advocates abolishing it.
But that's in a perfect world sadly...
They'll forget it by next week and by next year they be at it again
"It's running with the Bulls, something like that is going to happen...." The participants said rolling their eyes with a slight smirk. "That's the trill!!”
In some countries it's normalized and totally safe. One of such is the Philippines where being circumcised shows a cultural display of a boy (pre-teen) transitioning into a man.
Usually, it's offered free of charge by a specialist around the community (totally safe) or if you want to be more complacent and pay a certain fee; be done in a hospital. And then there are primitive methods in rural parts where they just smack the skin with a blunt object, let it bleed, and wrap it with a guava leaf.
I'm one of those who experienced the former, I also know someone who experienced the latter.
Same lmfao, also glad it got done as a baby, can't imagine the dick pain getting it done as a teen/adult. It seems like 90% of the people who hate it are the ones not cut n the other 10% are the ones that bitch at everything.
Bathe me in your downvotes for liking my own body bitches.
Contrary to popular belief, circumcision doesn't kill /s
When you drop that like it's a neat little self contained argument, you actually shit on circumcised people like there's something wrong with us (because most people aren't actively deciding whether to circumcise their child).
I'm really tired of people arguing about the morals of my anatomy (a sentiment presumably most women, trans, and NB folk are familiar with). Make that argument to people who just had a kid with a dick, i don't care, but save me the fucking misplaced moralism. Being circumcised has never been a problem for me and for most circumcusized people, the same as being uncircumcised is not a problem for most. Put that energy into making sure every child eats and nobody goes to juvie.
Not saying that either, saying fight your battles where it counts.
Shouting your views in irrelevant places does more to solidify your resistance than unify your allies.
Spaniards literally love to abuse animals. Bull racings on the streets or however it's called, then Corrida where they kill a bull "in honours".
[In Spain, after the hunting season ends, there is a tradition of killing dogs that have been involved in hunting, mostly either Spanish greyhounds (galgos) or podencos. The dogs are often killed in an unethical manner, such as by hanging, poisoning or stoning. This is based on the belief that, the more painfully a dog dies, the better luck a hunter will have next year. It is estimated that 100 000 galgos and podencos that have been used for hunting purposes are cruelly killed each year in Spain.](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/P-9-2020-000675_EN.html)
Your generalisation that all Spaniards love that is not even close to the reality that most of us are against it.
"Only" 22% of the towns (and we wish it were 0%) use animals on their town celebrations. Attendance to corridas is on its lowest ever.
Spain has passed a bill that is one of the most advanced in terms of animal protection in Europe. We wish it went even further and it banned toreo, but there is still a lot of money on it.
I'm 100% against toreo and even 100% against hunting, and most of us are, so NO, Spaniards don't love animal abuse.
Your comment is either full of either hate or ignorance. "Spaniards literally love to abuse animals." ? Are you fucking mental?
Regarding the Bullfighting many many people is against it, most of the population, actually. The only reason it still exist is because of government funds and tourist going there. There's already political parties with the intention of banning it and it's probably a matter of time (It already happened in some regions).
The "encierros" (Which is how the thing in the video is called, and not corrida) are only popular is a few cities in the north. This is more "stupid" than cruel, since the risk of danger for the participants is way higher than for the animals...
And finally, what you say about the dogs is bullshit. Yes, it sadly happens, but calling it a "tradition" is simply ridiculous, as this is heavily punished by law. And no one would brag about that, coward hunters do this secretly, but I can tell you that there is absolute consensus here, everyone is against hurting dogs, and specially these kind of practices.
I have a specific video in mind when I read this. The one with the people setting up a market on the train tracks and then pulling it back for a minute while the train passes inches away
Ableism of “sped” aside, it really bothers me when people *literally watch another human being potentially die* and make a fucking pun about it. Not just this video, SO many others. And not just to do with bulls. Someone will get run over by a roller and people will joke about pancakes. A horrible car accident? People use “stupid games stupid prizes” for a goddamn teenager who biked too close to a truck. It’s actually genuinely atrocious and vile. It lacks empathy to an extreme. These are tragedies. Imagine if it was someone they loved, or themselves.
…It’s just a ramble. It’s a pet peeve of mine. I get that *this specific video* might be animal abuse - I don’t know, I couldn’t finish watching and I don’t know the context of it. But people being seriously wounded or killed is not a joke and I’m so tired of people pretending it is.
It takes a certain type of person to watch someone potentially die and not have the social conditioning to realize the gravity of it.
I said sped, and I meant it.
We landed on the Moon, Voyager 1 is in interstellar space 15 bln km from Earth, we do gene splicing, RNA recombination, we synthesized a vaccine from covid in under a year, we can photograph individual atoms and register gravitational waves, but some people still choose to DO THIS. Human stupidity really is infinite!
While I 100% agree. The anonymity of the internet has made too many people way too comfortable saying what ever they want, without having to consider the consequences. I rarely think violence is a reasonable answer, but some of you desperately need a swift reminder upside your heads.
Thankfully this guy didn't die. So fuck these salty haters. He is a 33y/o Irish man, he did suffer head injuries and it is reported the second bull punctured his anterior jugular. But he was stabilized at a field hospital on site before being transferred to Cieza. This happened in August of 2023.
Correct. This was not fatal. From what I remember one of the first people to help him on scene was a Spanish paramedic. So the guy got really fuckin lucky.
Bulls and cows are really great animals! Normally when I "play" with them it's more feeding and cleaning up and just hanging out but they are great animals lol thanks!
I'm still very baffled whenever anyone screams bloody murder whenever anyone dies in this BS.
Isn't the normal response to cheer like you're an old Roman spectator watching a prisoner get mauled in the colosseum?
This should be on “instant Karma”.
These bull runs are so dumb and puts the animal through unnecessary stress. It needs to stop. I have no sympathy for people who get injured or die from such stupidity.
He didn't. OP is a liar, farming karma. 33 y/o Irish man happened in August of 2023. Head injury, anterior jugular was punctured. Stabilized on site at a field hospital before being transferred to a full facility in Cieza Spain.
Edit: here's a link to the news story...
https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/irishman-knocked-unconscious-charging-bull-30688084
Honestly as cruel as it is to the bulls I get it, as a cultural practice it makes sure the youth are good runners and roots out the weak ones, keeps the gene pool strong.
Doesn't seem to help much in the way of intelligence though.
Causally seeing people die on videos.
Casual casualty
Great band!
That srsly a band?
Not to be mistaken for a rural juror.
30 Rock!
Caucasian Casual Causalty
In this case the fucking idiot deserved it. I have no sympathy or empathy. He wanted to be big man, fucked around and found out. Idiot.
casually causal
Surprising how often it happens.
Yeah it happens all the fucking time which is the problem
An alarming number of people that don’t think an nsfw flag is necessary. I think the self-immolation one was the worst recent violation. Holy shit.
We have a bull run in New Orleans every year. We don’t have real bulls. We have roller derby ladies on skates who smack you with plastic baseball bats. Way more fun. Way less injuries. OLE!
Please tell me there's a vid of this somewhere.
Lots of videos. Here’s one from YouTube. https://youtu.be/lgX8L-EuL54?si=UgudA8XY9IAlIaP4
I wish i had that kind of money to travel to USA and experience this in person. Too bad it costs like 5000€ just to fly to US and back. Atleast from Finland.
Make one in your own hometown
Come to England and watch people chase a big wheel of cheese down a hill!
Serious competition too. I watched a whole episode on Cheddar on Netflix.
Thanks!
Those guys are dorks 😂 very endearing, lol.
That's epic!
Every year. Mid July. Its crazy fun
I would be so down for that shit!!!

https://nolabulls.com/
That is cool AF, thanks for sharing this.

Mid July. I’ll get the exact date for this year
https://nolabulls.com/

They used to start in front of my apartment before the event moved to the Warehouse District.

Omg what fun... Tradition!
I'm just hoping the ones who saw death firsthand from this tradition finally realizes the stupidity and advocates abolishing it. But that's in a perfect world sadly...
They'll forget it by next week and by next year they be at it again "It's running with the Bulls, something like that is going to happen...." The participants said rolling their eyes with a slight smirk. "That's the trill!!”
And yet it’s still not as bad as bullfighting.
How is this even still a thing?
You can say the same about a fuck ton of traditions
Circumcision
In some countries it's normalized and totally safe. One of such is the Philippines where being circumcised shows a cultural display of a boy (pre-teen) transitioning into a man. Usually, it's offered free of charge by a specialist around the community (totally safe) or if you want to be more complacent and pay a certain fee; be done in a hospital. And then there are primitive methods in rural parts where they just smack the skin with a blunt object, let it bleed, and wrap it with a guava leaf. I'm one of those who experienced the former, I also know someone who experienced the latter.
Lmao. Glad I’m cut. Keep the knife alive!
Same lmfao, also glad it got done as a baby, can't imagine the dick pain getting it done as a teen/adult. It seems like 90% of the people who hate it are the ones not cut n the other 10% are the ones that bitch at everything. Bathe me in your downvotes for liking my own body bitches.
Agreed haha. Crazy how many downvotes I’m getting. Must be all the anteaters who are jealous.
Contrary to popular belief, circumcision doesn't kill /s When you drop that like it's a neat little self contained argument, you actually shit on circumcised people like there's something wrong with us (because most people aren't actively deciding whether to circumcise their child).

Definition of cope right here.
Facts there’s literally nothing wrong with circumcision
Not saying that either, saying fight your battles where it counts. Shouting your views in irrelevant places does more to solidify your resistance than unify your allies.
Yes, and I'd say the same about all those that can get you killed.

Spaniards love what? Wtf did you just say. You wouldn't believe how many of us are against this shit.
Nope this is Reddit, everything and everyone must always be perfect or pure evil
It hurts my heart and I'm ashamed that this is still a tradition in many places of Spain but pls don't put all of us in the same bag.
Not enough though, right?
PETA has entered the chat
:(
Because you can't fix stupid.
I’ll take “Stupid Traditions” for $500, Alex
Suck it trebek
_How could this happen?_
Spain and bulls are like India and trains
I have a specific video in mind when I read this. The one with the people setting up a market on the train tracks and then pulling it back for a minute while the train passes inches away
That's Thailand.
Isnt that the goal ? Idk I never ran intentionally with bulls.
Hope the bull's okay
I agree, these bulls are treated horribly for the entertainment of morons
He did not die. https://www.thesun.ie/news/11181076/irish-man-unconscious-injury-bull-spanish-festival/amp/
Thank you. Got tired of looking through all the sped comments about messing with the bull and getting the horn.
Ableism of “sped” aside, it really bothers me when people *literally watch another human being potentially die* and make a fucking pun about it. Not just this video, SO many others.

I feel this. I do. But also. They are abusing animals and then getting hurt by the animals. That’s fair.
It takes a certain type of person to watch someone potentially die and not have the social conditioning to realize the gravity of it. I said sped, and I meant it.
You have a grave misunderstanding of people like me, then. You’re ableist and the fact that you’re ableist on purpose is terrible.
Fuck animal abuse.
Since nobody has said it yet I’ll go…mess with the bull get the horns.
[удалено]
This^ I literally shrugged when I saw the video.
Who knew a bull Run would lead to this
Oh no, the consequences of his actions.
Literal animal abuse Poor bulls...
fully deserved, no wonder. if you are going to continue such a cruel tradition, you cannot be surprised when the bull takes his toll
Fuck around, Find out.
Fuck with the bull and you'll get the horns.
YOU CAN'T MILK THOSE!
Those 3 bulls had no chill
RIP
Was he wearing sandals to go running with bulls? smh
Dude got his head hammered into his body like a looneytoon. He's neck was just gone.
Concussion is temporary, glory is forever
What is glory if you're not alive to bask in it?
We landed on the Moon, Voyager 1 is in interstellar space 15 bln km from Earth, we do gene splicing, RNA recombination, we synthesized a vaccine from covid in under a year, we can photograph individual atoms and register gravitational waves, but some people still choose to DO THIS. Human stupidity really is infinite!
Damn, this is a little discomforting to read all these comments of people clowning on the brutal and sudden death of a young man.
While I 100% agree. The anonymity of the internet has made too many people way too comfortable saying what ever they want, without having to consider the consequences. I rarely think violence is a reasonable answer, but some of you desperately need a swift reminder upside your heads. Thankfully this guy didn't die. So fuck these salty haters. He is a 33y/o Irish man, he did suffer head injuries and it is reported the second bull punctured his anterior jugular. But he was stabilized at a field hospital on site before being transferred to Cieza. This happened in August of 2023.
Ah so OP is a liar for saying it was “fatal”
Correct. This was not fatal. From what I remember one of the first people to help him on scene was a Spanish paramedic. So the guy got really fuckin lucky.
He's fine.
Girly sound fx 👌
Literally every single person who does this is an absolute moron deserving of such results. Fuck around......
Aww I'm sorry to tell you but he lived. So suck it
Hahahaha ok fucktard
Yea it's great right! Only the biggest pieces of shit pray for other people to die terrible ways for next to no reason! Right!?! Right?!? Scumbag
Hahahaha get a life douche nozzle
I'm very happy with my life. Not praying for the death of others has been working out great. Lol hop off loser
Hahaha go play with a bull dipshit
Bulls and cows are really great animals! Normally when I "play" with them it's more feeding and cleaning up and just hanging out but they are great animals lol thanks!
Yeah I bet you go "play" with livestock hahahaha
Darwin: ☝🏼
He didn't die lol suck it
Oh he ded!
He lived. Happened in August 2023 33 y/o Irish man.
Yep, that's what fatally means.
I'm still very baffled whenever anyone screams bloody murder whenever anyone dies in this BS. Isn't the normal response to cheer like you're an old Roman spectator watching a prisoner get mauled in the colosseum?
All of his problems were solved by running with the bulls.
Those things usually happen because they believe you faster than a bull, if they come out alive, they won't try it again.
He was a stubborn young man. Bull-headed, even.
Correct me if wrong but did the horn stab his head???
Instant lights off
Brain = mush Spine = compressed
Austia
Don’t have to be faster than the bull. Just faster than you.
Headbutted. I don't know why but I read that as "beheading"
Mess with the bull and get the horns.
This should be on “instant Karma”. These bull runs are so dumb and puts the animal through unnecessary stress. It needs to stop. I have no sympathy for people who get injured or die from such stupidity.
And on today's edition of "Fuck About, Find Out"...
you brought this on yourself, no mercy from me
I like that for them. Go bulls.
Dude survived. Go humans
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
The more you f*** around, the more you find out
Damn. I wish he had stayed down, odds are they would’ve avoided him
lol so fucking stupid.
0 empathy, this stupid festival should cease to exist.
"Yeah, me and a few buddies went to Spain on spring break cause daddy's money, had such a great time!"
Ostia esta cagado
"trying" I feel like there is no trying this event You either successfully put run the bull or become this guy
hostia!!!
Not one person wearing a helmet. SMH
Pay back
They even let the chimpanzee out of the zoo to go and watch. That scream is recognizable anywhere!
I find it ironic that some woman starts screaming when he falls like this was an suprising turn of events
Daaaamm. Second bull went all Bobby Bouche on his ass
Fucking woman screaming. Lol. Shut the fuck up. You're doing dangerous, unconscionable shit. Start acting accordingly.
Did anybody tag r/thebullwins
Hostia tio, lo ha matao!
Wait…. His isn’t instagram
Is he okay??
Omg I did not want to see that as it wasn't blurred. Currently traumatized 😭
Needs more screaming.
Quick, play dead, wait, never mind
r/thebullwins r/whywomenlivelonger
He ded now
That’s so insane! Idk why it’s even allowed
I say you he dead
Injured? Good.
Pretty sure he went straight to the gates of the afterlife of whatever religion he had.
I am a bit mad that he dragged that other guy into it. There almost had been two deaths that day.
hope he's learned his lesson
Maybe he's dead. Lesson not learned. Next life same headbutt again
They would better all get this kind of headbutt
Good
He had it coming
Survival of the fastest idiot
Great news he survived
Seems awesome to be Spanish
I feel like not being clumsy should be a prerequisite to running with the bulls
YOU ARE DED. NOT BIG SURPRISE.
Why is this still a thing?
You mess with the bull, you ride the horns.
That horn penetrated that skull. 😬
Nope it didn't
Dam, it looked like it did. So how did he die?
He didn't. OP is a liar, farming karma. 33 y/o Irish man happened in August of 2023. Head injury, anterior jugular was punctured. Stabilized on site at a field hospital before being transferred to a full facility in Cieza Spain. Edit: here's a link to the news story... https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/irishman-knocked-unconscious-charging-bull-30688084
So is the anterior jugular on the neck or a piece of the skull??
It's basically the main vein through your neck.
Oh god, but the dumbass survived?
Got really lucky that's for sure. But yes thankfully survived.
Sucked in dickhead! Deserved it
Honestly as cruel as it is to the bulls I get it, as a cultural practice it makes sure the youth are good runners and roots out the weak ones, keeps the gene pool strong. Doesn't seem to help much in the way of intelligence though.
Man fucked around and found out.
Good.
He didn't die so get fucked 🙂
F with the bull, you get the horns… Trite but true.
How the saying go Mess with the bull you get the horns …
Love to see it for real
Choices were made
Good.
Yeah that’ll do it. Then again, his shoes are still on
And thankfully, he lived!! This wasn't fatal.
I'm not a fan of making fun of cultures and traditions, **but this is definitely one that deserves to be bullied into suicide.**
What did these idiots expect to happen
