Pamplona it's not.
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
That Pamplona spectacle always bothered me; those cobblestone streets are smooth and slick; I imagine many of those frenzied bulls slip and fall - quite possibly breaking their teeth, maybe shredding their kneecaps. Probably a lot of the aficionados don't care, though, because picadors and matadors are going to do their own heroic deeds. I hate the exploitation of animals for the pleasure of humans....I'm old enough to remember when cowboy movies did not include the horse falling down; now, it's imperative.

True dat. But I wouldn't go to Pamploma to watch those bulls being mistreated even if someone gave me a first class ticket on one of the country's finest flying cattle cars. Paul Craig Roberts
I agree Bub.

Agree, I get no pleasure from seeing animals mis-treated for "sporting" purposes. It's not a good thing in God's eyes, imo “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
They appear to be French bulldogs.

Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
