WARNING - GRAPHIC VIDEO - Here is graphic video of a Spanish man being gored by a bull at the annual Pamplona "Running of the Bulls" in Spain yesterday. The video is chaotic and in Spanish, but if you look carefully in the center of the screen you see a man in a striped shirt. You then see the bull make one quick thrust which gores the man on the left side of his neck. At the end of the video you see the man on a stretcher with emergency personnel trying to stop the bleeding. The man - said to be from Madrid - later died of his injuries.
Below is another video showing general action of the "Running of the Bulls" that does not show the goring of the man who died, but mentions it. . . . . . (Watch Video)

Frankly, I’m surprised this thing doesn’t happen more often at Pamplona.
very sad. It was disturbing to watch the bull being tormented by the crowd before it veered into them.
An effective way to clean up our nation’s ghettos?
Wall off the bad parts of town and turn a few bulls loose.
Or pitbulls. Hose down the homeys with steak sauce, then let `em go.
Shouldn’t the government or the UN or someone put a stop to that?
I’d still like to do it.
I’m someone who tends to appreciate all sorts of old-world romanticism... but I’ve always found that whole ‘running with the bulls’ thing to be mind-bogglingly stupid.
“Sometimes, ze bool, he weens!”
I don’t get the Spaniards and their penchant for animal cruelty - the bullfighting is bad enough, but there is a festival where they throw a goat from a five story building, cheer, and if it survives they toss it again. I’m a carnivore but this crap makes me root for the bulls.
Good place for a PETA convention.
Me too.
Yep! It's one thing to kill for survival, but torture is completely different.
Just in case you missed it, in Mr. Bean’s Spain, monkeys have human rights.
Yes, I’m obnoxious as all get out. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I LOVE reading about the buffoons being gored to either paralysis or death. It really works for me.
Two of my closest friends are from Spain, they can’t seem to explain the appeal of this themselves. That said, I’d much rather go to the giant tomato fight, even though I think it’s a crying shame to waste all those tomatoes, think of all the marinara sauce you could make....
There have to be better ways to show how much of a man one is? YIKES! I too am surprised that this does happen more often.
In bull fighting the margin between “O Lay!” and “I’m screwed” is a small one
