As for the cruel tw@ts who practice bull teasing I hope the bull gets them, very least they deserve for doing something so barbaric

Posted: Tue Aug 15, 2006 10:11 amI agree. Somehow it's even less fair on the bull when it wins; cause then they kill it anyway. Doesn't seem fair to me. Plus, it shouldn't be called a sport, whoever does that for sport is well... you know what i mean..

About the bull teasing : there were no bulls killed there that day because it wasn't a real corrida but a course Camarguaise
an explanation I got from another site :
"Course Camarguaise is the local version of bullfighting.
It is a summer pastime practised in many small towns around the area (Languedoc). There are local leagues which are reported in local newspapers.
The objective is to remove the ribbons that are attached to the bulls horns. Competitors are on foot and rely solely on speed and agility.
The bull is unhurt, and lives to fight another day."
So the bulls stayed unhurt, but they were very much annoyed by the young men running in front of and around them. One guy even got run over by a bull (he stayed unhurt too).
I'll post more pics of the event when I get the pics from my camera (pre-digital era)
