I find it all very disgusting! It should be stopped! Why they want to Torture those poor animals in the streets, then torture them again in the arena is beyond me.

With that being said, a friend of mine ran with the bulls and said it was the most exciting thing he has ever done. He made it to the arena and hooked up with a senorita who thought he was SOOOOOO Braaaaave when she saw him slap a bull in the face.

The nine-day festival includes a carnival, bullfights and of course, the famous Running of the Bulls. Deeply traditional, it has been held since 1591, and remains a popular, if dangerous and controversial event. This year, dozens of runners and revelers have been injured, and one has been killed - a 27-year-old man who was gored in the neck, heart and lungs on Friday. Animal rights groups continue to level criticism toward the event, in which dozens of bulls run through small, packed streets toward a bullring where they will be killed during later bullfights. Collected here are some of the scenes from this year's Festival of San Fermin.
