Bull Kills Man at Spanish Festival

Now. For the record. If I have already blogged about this I apologize. Secondly, I do feel for the friends and family of the individual noted in this article. So here is basically what the article outlines.

"1 dead at Pamplona; first goring death since '95
9 others injured in unusually dangerous chapter of the running of the bulls"

Hmmmmm. "unusually dangerous"? So this particular episode of the running of the bulls was somehow more dangerous than previous "bull runnings". Folk(s) there are just some things in this world I don't understand. Carnival people (Carnies), anything pertaining to Physics, and "the running of the bulls". I don't get it? I don't. They get bulls. People. Put the people in front of the bulls. and run them. You know there is a word for this. Its called trampling. Probably would hurt the whole tourist attraction thing if it were called "the Trampling of the Bulls".

People might argue that it tradition, and history. So was the plague; and you won't find me on vacation kissing rats.

The article went on to mention a particular bull in this incident named Cappuccino.
"A brown, 1,130-pound bull named Cappuccino fell early in the run and ended up on its own."

1,130 pounds of bull. I like this part of the article which outlines Bull behavior:
"The bulls covering the half-mile course with six accompanying steers tend to mind their own business and keep running as long as they stay in a pack. A bull that gets separated is more likely to get spooked and aggressive and that is just what happened Friday."

"Spooked and Aggressive"? Hmmmmmmmm. Folks, were not talking about squirrels here. You can't tell me that ordinarily a group of bulls being herded down a crowded street towards people is somehow safer. Here's why. At some point you stop measuring safety levels. Me, I start at Bulls named after energy beverages. I also stop at anything over a 1,000 pds with horns. Actually, I pretty much just stop at horns.

This is indeed a tragedy, and I hate it for those who have lost loved ones in such an event; but come on, I mean. Really. I'm looking for a word to top stupid, and frankly I'm drawing a blank.
