La Course Camarguaise!

[killerbunny]

First a little explanation I got from a 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."

The entrance of the bull




The bull is getting very annoyed











Sometimes the bull jumps over the fence




All this happened in the old Roman amphitheatre of Arles

Oh wow! That sounds like quite a challenge ... however not my kinda thing!

If people have to go bullfighting, that's a reasonable way to do it (although I'm not about to take part myself!)

My feelings on traditional Spanish bullfighting aren't appropriate for a public forum like SimV.

Love the caption
Seems like a much better alternative to bull fighting

This is the perfect way to stage the magnificent drama of man vs. bull ...

I betcha a couple o' those guys bricked their pants!
Cheers,
Doc.
P.S. For you Brits, bricking your pants means shiting yourself in American slang.
