Women in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona, world-famous for its ferocious bull-running festival, are demanding their own version complete with cows instead of bulls.
A student Web site, www.estudiln.net, set the ball rolling with its campaign "Cows want to run" which asks for a separate encierro, as the bull-runs are known, where only women are allowed to take part.
Women have been allowed to take part in the San Fermin bull-running for some years but they still represent a tiny minority of the thousands of runners who attempt to dodge 600-kilo bulls along an 800-metre course through the streets of Pamplona.
The students say it's only logical that women should have their own bull-run.
"Cows, as well as bulls, have four legs and a natural instinct to run," says their manifesto. "An encierro for cows, would put Pamplona at the vanguard of traditional fiestas with equality for men and women."
Organisers of the festival, which runs from July 7-14, have not responded to the suggestion.
And just what the late Ernest Hemingway, who made the bull-run in Pamplona internationally famous, would have thought will never be known.
Hillary, Rosie.....you’re being paged.
that was too easy....
Holy cow! Did they ASK the cows if they want to run?
Will homosexuals now demand to have run with, what, bulls and cows that questions their gender?
And will they demand separate “Cow fighting” arenas? Then it would be cows fighting cows.
Pedophiles demand to run with the calves.
LOLLOLOLLOL
This could be a way to eliminate women who are stupid...
FReepers demand to run with Moose.
geez. isn’t modern femisism relevant, modern, and clever?
I’ve heard dumber ideas, but can’t seem to remember when...
How about poodles instead of cows?
Cows are not bulls. Can we all agree on that?
If we must persist in the fiction that women are just like men, can we at least admit the reality that cows are not just like bulls?
I represent midgets and dwarves - we demand a running of the Shetland Ponies!
A moose bit my sister once.
If they show up the cows will be running away from the people, not toward them. In fact that would be the better event. Get a bunch of strident, dyke feminists and let them chase the cows.

I guess they don’t want to run with the bulls because Pamploma has no labyrinth.
...while rolling a cheese...
