7/10/2007 - Running with the cows

Posted in going_ape

Good news for all you feminists out there: your Spanish counterparts are fighting for the right to run with cows in Pamplona. I'm sure you know about this annual event where people are chased thru the streets of Pamplona by bulls, who later that day will meet their painful deaths. Well, feminist students in Spain demand that a similar event be held for women, chased by cows. Now, I don't think feminism is a laughing matter. I think that all man and women need to share equal rights, and be payed equally according to work done, but wheneve an initiative is undertaken, it's helpful to set a goal. I don't really understand how focusing on running with cows is helping anyone. Besides, women are already allowed to participate in the bull run, and that to me seems more like equality to me, than letting women run with cows. This to me sounds like women finally allowed to play baseball, demanding to play softball instead.

Haha, yeah it does. That it perhaps one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. Besides which, not that I agree with it, but historcialy the running of the bulls was done as perart of the opening ceremony for the bull fights. Running with cows would just be people being chased by cows for no reason,and it would just turn commical, becasue even though getting trampled by a cow could kill you, there is a different between the idea of being chased by bulls and being chased by cows.

Posted by DAWNIE

Cows, Bulls it doesn't matter a jot it is a disgusting activity and I always pray that the Bulls kill and trample as many people as possible. I know I shouldn't wish people ill (Normally I am a very humane and kind hearted soul)... But when, such a cruel so called, kind of sport is perpetrated upon the poor beasts my mind and heart are torn and my only sympathies lie with the Bulls. We humans are a depraved lot of devils, we haven't seemed to learn anything much over the centuries through all the wars and cruel acts to our fellow man and our animal kingdom. And just go on killing here there and everywhere. It's time a bull or two took extreme revenge before he meets the barbs of a sword and a painful death in front of an inhumane blood thirsty throng. Out for a so called day of entertainment. Entertainment my foot!
