1 man was killed during Spain's traditional running of the bulls festival. Daniel Romero was tossed into the air then gored as he lay curled up on the floor. A medical team treated him at the scene before arriving at the hospital but his injuries to both his neck and abdomen were too severe. Should Spain make running with bulls illegal?

Only one death? That's really disappointing. People spend a lot of money to travel to Pamplona, they deserve a better return on their Euro.

It's a tradition that's been around for... well, I don't even know. The people participate by choice. Therefore, it's their fault if they're too slow and get hit.

It weeds out the stupid and the slow.

I would make the price for running a bit higher, though-- to offset the cost of insurance.

Not that we could do anything about it, but no, it shouldn't be made illegal. If the people of Pamplona won't to carry on the tradition more power to them.

It is a long standing tradition that I say we should not fuck with.

People wanna risk their necks and possibility being trampled then it is fine with me. People do the same here in the states when they go base jumping, cliff diving, or any other number of risky activities.

Some people like to live in the fast lane.

I wouldn't do it, but if some idiot wants to let a 2,000-pound best with horns chase him because he thinks it's fun, I won't stop him. However, I won't cry for him if he winds up as worm food at the end of the day.

Anyone stupid enough to join in the Bull run deserves what they get.

Did they think those huge horns and enormous body are there for decoration?

Just one.?
It should be illegal, not because people can die [call me insensible, I don't really care] but because of the bulls, it's a stupid and cruel tradition..
I honestly don't feel sad for any people that dies or gets injured there..

I think they should continue doing it. I don't know a whole lot about it in general, but as far as I know it has been a long running tradition.

It's also voluntary, it's not like they are forced to run from the bulls. If they want to do it, let them. They ALL know the risks.

But if idiots want to run with them, it is , quite literally, their funeral. It really isn't fair on the bulls though.

Has there ever been a contact sport in the world where someone hasn't gotten killed. Hell no, it's a 400 year old tradition and it should continue.

I've seen the torment those poor bulls go through. Not only that, people are always hurt in these bulls runs. It should be illegal.
